HI Gman,
None of them have spaces in the name. They did give me more space in my
filebox recently as my box was almost full. I had emailed the person listed
in the filebox called "help" whomever he/she was but they said it was not
something wrong in filebox. But that is the only time this is happening,
( I am trying to recall if it is happening in my student submission site
where I copy and paste the link from my filebox to the instructor). This is
a big irritation for me at present as I am "under the gun" so to speak to
get this class wrapped up. I can download the file fine from the filebox to
save on my computer. This is happending when I click on it and want to
view it at the site.
Christine
