***

## Cause

One of the reasons for the above error can be **Attachment Filename containing Windows special characters** `[`, `]`, `/`, `\`, `"`, `:`, `*`, `?`, `<`, `>` . This is because **Aras does not support Windows special characters in filename**.

***

## Solution

If the Attachment filename contains Windows special characters (`[`, `]`, `/`, `\`, `"`, `:`, `*`, `?`, `<`, `>`), then add **Advanced Mapping for Attachment** such that we replace the special characters with any of the supported characters.

Below is a snippet for advanced mapping for attachment in which `:` (colon), `*` (asterisk), and `?` (question mark) are being replaced by `_` (underscore) in filename:
