Illegal characters in path

As a learning exercise in VS 2005 - BASIC, I'm working on a program which
may be run on any of the (hopefully) later versions of Windows - assume 98
- XP.

Is there a quick / dirty way to determine which is the invalid character in
the path / folder name? Given that, I can arbitrarily (arbitrary
programmers, right!) replace it with a valid character (space or underscore
or ...)

Incomplete: 'System.IO.Path.InvalidPathChars'.
