Section Wizard Import Error

Question

Hello, 
 I have created a built-up section in section wizard and am trying to import it into my STAAD model. When I try to add my .upt file I receive this pop up: 
 
 The file I am trying to use does not contain any "-" nor any other special characters. See .upt file name here;

Any idea why I am getting this error? or how I can work around it. 
 Thanks

If the external UPT file path contains " - " (with blank spaces before and after the hyphen sign), then the warning message is displayed. 
 Also I would like to tell you that if there is no space given prior and after &lsquo;-&lsquo; then this warning is not there. 
 So, if the file name in your local machine (example D drive) is like &ldquo;Model-Test&rdquo;, then the warning will not be there but if the file name is like &ldquo;Model - Test&rdquo; (that means space given prior and after &lsquo;-&lsquo;), the you will get this warning. 
 I would suggest you to please copy the STAAD file and UPT file in the local machine (example D drive) and import the UPT file. Also please make sure you do not have any &lsquo;-&lsquo; sign in the path.
