Hi Samuel,
As you know, the dash character is used in the Adagio Financial Reporter to separate accounts and departments. If a dash was saved with a department (or an account), then this would mess up the formulas in financial statements. For this reason, dashes or other special reserved characters for the Financial Reporter are disallowed in account and department code setup, as you have found.
Sorry, but you'll have to pick a different separator character for the department setup.
