meaning of an error

Post by LBD »

Hi,

Can someone please tell me what the error "Character not valid for a variable name or number" mean?

I would really appreciate it.

Thanks.

Sounds like you are calling a variable something like "some var name ;;::><". One of the characters is probably not allowed.

What is the exact name of the variable you are trying to create?
