Create folder in document library: System.ArgumentException Invalid Data??
Hello all, I have a WSS 3.0 site with a document library. I'm trying to create a folder in that library but I get the error listed below. It's pretty vague and I've done some searching but can't find any case with a similar situation as mine. Most of the scenarios I've found involve custom code, which is not my case. FYI, I can create folders in SharePoint Designer and in the Explorer View, no problem. Any ideas of what's going on, or what I can do to continue debugging/troubleshooting? Thanks for your attention!

I am having the same problems in the documents library of many of my sites... I wish to remark that: 1) If I create a new document library (inside a site that have the standard document library not working) works fine 2) If I create a new site the documents library works fine My form is standard (upload.aspx), I think is something corrupted inside the library because the form displays the field Name (where you put the name of the folder) two times! and then when submit the form the exception that up_creek put below. If someone have a solution would be very apprecated Thnaks!!!!
