filename field not displaying correct filename when that name starts with #

I display the filename of my files in the footer as a reference using the filename field. However, I have some files with names beginning with "#" e.g. "#000046" and unfortunately these display as "^N000046". How can I get the filename field to display the correct characters?

Thank you for your assistance.

Peter
