Special Characters

A

Angel

I know MSP & the cube do not like special characters. I'm trying to help a
client who has an existing system with lots of special characters build a
cube and they have them all over the place.

Does MSP not like special characters any where or is it just in custom
fields and certain resource code fields? I'm trying to narrow down what needs
to be fixed since they have all 3,000+ employees in their resource pool.

Personally I try to avoid non-alpha numerical characters completely.

Not only does having them impact on the cube build, but may also cause
issues will hyperlinks.

The following article relates to Project 2002, and I'm not aware of a more
upto date publication for later editions.

One can never be sure where they will cause a problem. I just answered a
question where an issue in one custom field was causing some of the other
custom fields to not calculate correctly. I'd avoid them in anything that is
referenced by the cube. But I'd recommend you remove them from everywhere.
