For some reason, the files in the database won’t open if they have the # character in them…

One thing i noticed was in the file name, the link doesn’t have %20 for the space characters after the # sign, but even when i replace the rest of the number characters with the %20 character, the link still doesn’t work..

    wpg_docload.download_file is part of Apex and is used to return files to a browser.
    But # can have a special meaning in a URL so that might be confusing it.

    Have a look in WWV_FLOW_FILES and see what the file name is in there (eg has it been encoded in anyway).
