Validating a form control to not allow Special characters

I have what I would expect to be a simple validation of a form control not to have any special characters.  It seems like a Regular Expression should handle this.

 

I read this prior post which appeared to give me a simple answer of w+.  I tried that and it didnt allow even valid alpha numberic characters. 

I also tried ^[a-zA-Z0-9] which I found by google searching.  This allowed special characters still.  Any ideas?
