We noticed that when our SKU numbers had dashes in them, and we added an item with dashes in it's SKU to the Cart, or tried to modify that same item with the admin pages, the dashes would be removed.
It appeared the "culprit" was Header.aspx in stripping out the dashes. We changed the code to allow the dashes to remain.. Why did/does Header.aspx remove the dashes? Is their some other workaround...?
thx
Jim

Did you try using the ASCII code for the dash?

The header.aspx "sanitizes" all input from the user to prevent SQL Injection. You can change this very simply in the header.aspx and you saw. You could also change the dashes to some other character if you wanted to.
