if i run a report with a tree that has "." in the name

Wm. Robert Barbrow as the name

it will generate a file called

wm.robertbarbrow.html

I've seen this confuse programs becuase it sees the file as wm and the extension as robertbarbrow (instead of html

is there a way to blank out illegal charters from the fill naming process?

By default, Windows hides the extension, so a file named "a.b.htm" will be displayed as "a.b", making it to appear as having the extension ".b".

is there a way to blank out illegal charters from the fill naming process?

In the file Config.xml, replace the following

with

This will remove all names from the the filenames, threfore there will be no unwanted dots. The other solution is to remove the dot from the name. GenoPro has a special field for a name prefix and a name suffix.
