OLAP cube special characters error

[lyz]

when we build our OLAP cube, there is an error msg saying that "The cube was
built on 7/25/2006 at 10:52 AM with errors. The errors will not prevent use
of the cube."

Our IT guy suggested that was because of the special characters ( - , etc)
we used in resource names, task names, etc.

Do we have to replace all the special characters, since we cannot prevent
users use these sepcial character in task names and it says the erros will
not prevent use of cube? Please advise?

Thanks a bunch.

Lyz:

In this version of the software, this is an important consideration for the
following:

Project and Resource Outline Code names and values
Resource Names
Project Names

Because task data isn't included in the cube, it's not an issue for task
names.

We just attempted to extend the OLAP cube with task information and ran into
this issue on task names. I guess a word of caution for future planning as
we spent many hours cleaning up task names in order to extend the OLAP cube
and could have avoided this expense had we planned for future needs in the
beginning.
