B1UP User Query Bug?
Answered
It appears that the B1UP is not able to open a user query from a category that has a '-' in its name.
In the list of queries, we have a category called "X - SAP Searches". Whenever I get the unique ID for a query in this category, and try to call this using B1UP (tried both using User Query option in Function Buttons window, and using the UserQuery() call in a macro), nothing happens, no query appears. No errors either.
However, if I manually open the exact same query, then save this in a category that does not have a '-' in its name, get that new ID and update the B1UP config, the user query opens as expected. I suspect that the '-' in the category name is therefore part of the problem, as this is the only difference between the two configurations.
In my situation I can easily get round the problem by using a different category for the user query, however I thought it best you knew about this problem if it is indeed a bug that needs fixing. Please let me know.

Upon further investigation, it appears that this is probably not a problem with the '-' in the category name, as I have tried renaming the problematic category and the queries still do not appear. It turns out that I cannot launch any query in this category with B1UP, even new queries saved into it. There must be something it doesn't like about that particular category, but I'm not sure what that is. If you'd like me to test anything for you or give you information on the user query SQL tables, let me know.
