Special Characters in the Project Server Database

[MartinG]

I have read that having special characters (eg &, /, : and so on) can cause
problems with the OLAP Cube build. Although our OLAP is building OK when
looking at the server database to try and resolve other problems I have
noticed that we have a number of areas where we have special characters, in
the resource pool and in some project and task names. Are there any
potential hazards with this?

These are particularly problematic when used in Resource Names, Project
Names, Outline Code descriptions and values. Elsewhere, you're likely to get
away with it.

Thanks Gary - I will sort the problem areas into categories then fix.
