I think I have found an issue with 1.5 but need someone to verify. When I select a screen for the tabbed layout which contains a & in the name of the screen and I then try to save it after entering the label and selecting an icon it gives the error below. Tab 3 NOT created - Home Screen, Label, and Icon required. If I use any other screen which doesn't contain a & sign it works fine. Cheers Chris Title Comments Hi, Newbie to BT and just started on my first app. So far I am very impressed with BT its just what I needed to get into App development.

I just created a tab on the home screen called 1&1 so you can use special characters in the label. Named the screen 'home' and the tab (label) is called 1&1. You can label it, so the tab shows on your device as 1&1 but I don't believe you can use that special character in the actual screen name, make sense? If I'm wrong someone will jump in.

If it doesn't, that would throw the error you see. You can't link to a screen that hasn't been created. Mark Comments Does the actual screen that you're trying to assign to that tab actually exist?

Yeah the screen exists since I selected it, as far as I can tell you can't use special chars in the screen name. Comments Thanks for replies.
