Error When Trying to Open Files

Bb 9.1 tip for all Blackboard Users

Q: Why do I get an error message when I try to open some files in Blackboard?
A: Errors occur when an uploaded file contains special characters (i.e., #, +, etc. symbols)

Blackboard recommends the following guidelines for filenames:
Characters a-z (upper or lower case)
0-9
period '.'
underscore '_'
All spaces will be converted to underscores in the name of the uploaded file.
