using & in Virtual Directory names

External Since: Feb 17, 2004 Posts: 1

We just built out a new web server (Win 2000, IIS5), and for some reason, a virtual directory containing "&" in the name no longer works. What setting could I have missed? IIS thinks the vdir is the vdir minus the "&".

Don't use that character in a virtual directory name, in
fact avoid any special characters which are commonly used
in ASP URLs.
