Short Description
Creating Columns
Best Practice
When creating columns (or site columns), always try and avoid using special characters such as $, &, # and %. For example:
Instead of "Purchase Order #", use "Purchase Order No" or "Purchase Order Number".
The reason is, if you plan using these columns later in code or in SharePoint Designer (for example, the dataview webpart), you will have problems and challenges, and I've seen specifically myself, the 'Send to Row' functionality break, when columns are named with extended characters.
