I have been playing around with the varialbe that I am sending here and I
have found that this function is actually working correctly. Spaces an
punctuation decode properly, but an amperstand seems to be where my ploblem
is. I know its a very weird character to be using, but it is a valid
character in a filename so I must acount for it. Has anyone previously
dealt with this and might be able to give me a quick work around?

Thanks
