Outlook Folder name contained invalid characters or is only spaces

Folder name contained invalid characters or is only spaces

Hi,
It seems the issue is that you receive the message when you are using Outlook.
First please let me know, what type of account are you using in Outlook? Exchange, IMAP or POP3?
I suggest you logon the Webmail/OWA to check whether there are any special characters in the folder names. If there are, remove the special characters and check if Outlook still prompts this message.
This issue can also be caused by some anti-virus program or 3rd-party add-ins. Please disable the anti-virus program temporarily to check the result. I also suggest you start Outlook in Safe Mode to determine whether it's related to add-ins:
Press Win + R, type "outlook.exe /safe" in the blank box, press Enter.
If there's no problem in Outlook Safe Mode, go to FILE -> Options -> Add-Ins to disable the suspicious add-ins to verify which on caused this problem.
Since the information you provided is quite limited, you can also let me know what you have done recently to the PC or Outlook before this issue occurred.

  • Error occured while importing xsd.file(Name contains invalid characters: -

    Hello,
    i muss import xsd.file.  while importing this error occured:
    İFMEXTDEF CCTS_CCT_SchemaModule-2.0 | http://example.org/XXX/XXX/OUT/NOZ (SC_NOZ V001 of example.org):

    Only a(A)-z(Z), 0-9, and "_" are permitted
    This xsdfile name is CCTS_CCT_SchemaModule-2.0 but PI doesn't  accept "-". But i muss use this file because this file is standart. What can i do for this?
    Thanks

    HI,
      PI doestnt support special characters like '-'. first you need to change the file name as you specify '-'. to remove that and you have to give '_'. then uyou have to impot >XSD file into ESR under ExternalDefination.
    i hope this will help you.

  • Dynamic column Name# Contains Invalid Characters. Bind_table() fails

    Hi WD experts,
    I have tried to use the bind_table() on a dynamically generated table. Now it happens that this dynamic table contains  columns like NAME# . This gave rise to a dump :
    The Name NAME# Contains Invalid Characters. Valid Characters are A-Z, 0-9, _, and /.
    Other tables which do not have such columns are correctly bound.
    In my method , I first loop over the field catalog to retrieve some field names from a dynamicallt generated report...
      LOOP AT lt_fieldcat_out INTO lwa_fieldcat.
        comp-name = lwa_fieldcat-fieldname.
        comp-type ?= cl_abap_typedescr=>DESCRIBE_BY_DATA( lwa_fieldcat-FIELDNAME ).
        APPEND comp TO comp_tab.
      ENDLOOP.
    structure which represents the dynamic table
      struct_type = cl_abap_structdescr=>get(
                                              p_components = comp_tab
                                              p_strict = abap_FALSE   ).
      node_info = wd_context->get_node_info( ).
      node_info = node_info->add_new_child_node(
                                  name        = 'DYN_TAB_NODE'
                                  IS_MANDATORY                 = ABAP_TRUE
                                   IS_MANDATORY_SELECTION       = ABAP_FALSE
                                   IS_MULTIPLE                  = ABAP_TRUE
                                   IS_MULTIPLE_SELECTION        = ABAP_FALSE
                                   IS_SINGLETON                 = ABAP_FALSE
                                   IS_INITIALIZE_LEAD_SELECTION = ABAP_FALSE
                                  static_element_rtti = struct_type
                                  is_static = abap_false
      struct_type = node_info->GET_STATIC_ATTRIBUTES_TYPE( ).
    Afterwards, I bind a dynamic table to the new node...
    Do you have an idea how to circumvent this ?
    Thank you,

  • The File name property is not valid. The file name is a device or contains invalid characters

    I have an SSIS task that has run successfully for years. They just moved the dtsx to a new server and now it is failing. 
    Issue:
    The task has a data flow that writes a raw file destination. It then has a subsequent data flow that reads the raw file destination. 
    The path and name of the raw file is passed to each of the data flows via the same variable. 
    The raw file resides in a folder on the server in the same path that the dtsx resides in. 
    The task fails with the "The File name property is not valid. The file name is a device or contains invalid characters" error when trying to access the raw file.
    What we have done to troubleshoot:
    1. I ran the task successfully on my local machine so it is definitely a server issue.
    2. The first thing we were seeing was that it failed trying to write to the raw file. The task is set to "Create Always". 
    3. We saw that the dba's copied over the entire directory structure from the old server which included a previously created raw file, so we deleted the raw file.
    4. We reran the task and it successfully wrote a new raw file but then failed on reading the raw file with the same error as above.
    5. We reran the task AGAIN and this time it failed trying to write the raw file throwing the same error as above.
    6. The dba looked at the directory and the account that performs the task has full control.
    7. The dba looked at the raw file that was created and verified that the account that performs the task has full control of the file and that it is the owner of the file.
    Summary:
    The task fails when trying to access the file EXCEPT when the file does not exist. In that situation it can write the file but subsequently fails in accessing it again.

    Hi Whalensdad,
    Based on my research, the issue can be caused by the following reasons:
    There are some invalid characters in the File name at package runtime. In this scenario, just as Russ said, could you please post the value that is in the File name variable? Also use a Script Task with Messagebox.show to show the variable values at runtime.
    May be it changes to others at run time.
    The account runs the package not having access to all the folders in the path. Since you are moving the dtsx file from one server to the current server, do you also move the raw file to the same folder in the current server? Does the user runs the package
    have access to all the folders in the path? To solve this, please ensure that the user has access to all folders and the raw file in the path on the current server.
    Thanks,

    Please see the response above. I can't use a message box on a server so I logged the values to the database. The resource account has full control to the folder. I haven't been able to get the DBA to check the SQL Agents permissions, but I was always under
    the impression that if you use "Run As" on the task, it will not use the SQL Agent but the account you identify it to "Run As". The "Run As" account has full control on the folder and file.

  • The file name is not valid. The file name is a device or contains invalid characters.

    Hi ,
    I am getting below error in SSIS 2008 package when it is run through control-m

    Thanks

    Hi Paras,
    Based on your description, it is not the VS IDE issue, if it is related to the SSIS, I suggest you post the issue in this forum here:http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/home?forum=sqlintegrationservices
    , and there you would get better response.

  • Word cannot open this document.  The document might be in use, the document might not be a valid Word document,  or the file name might contain invalid characters (for example,\ /).

    I recently upgraded to a new Macbook Air running Lion, from my 2007 white Macbook running Snow Leopard.  I had Office for Mac 2004 on the 2007, but had to upgrade to Office for Mac 2011 to be compatible with Lion on the Air.  Now when I try to open my documents on the Air that were saved under Office 2004 on the old computer, I get the following message: Word cannot open this document.  The document might be in use, the document might not be a valid Word document,  or the file name might contain invalid characters (for example,\ /).
    Any suggestions?  Thank you.

    Ha,ha,ha.....I figured it out.  But for anyone else who's having this problem, it seems that while Office 2004 allowed dates in this format: 00/00/00, Office 2011 doesn't like it at all.  I just changed the format in the document names to 00-00-00 and all is well.  Documents are opening beautifully! 

  • Error message: Package contains invalid characters installing patchlevel 6

    Dear experts:
    I have successfullly installed SAP GUI 7.20 compilation 2, using SAP installation server (40 machines, Windows XP sp3 32 bits, latest updates).
    I have successfully installed patchlevel 6 in the SAP installation server. (gui720_6-10007878.exe, downloaded from SAP Portal)
    SAP GUI is configured to search for updates after 5 double-clicks on desktop icon. I forced the 5 double-clicks on a test machine and the patch begins to install; then informs me that there is a pending reboot.
    When I reboot the machine a SAP Netweaver Front-end installer window appears with the error: "/Package contains invalid characters like /*?"<>\" - "Your system has a pending reboot". If I reboot again the message is displayed again.
    If I click on the "Cancel" button of this window, Windows XP continues booting and SAP GUI works fine.
    Two questions:
    How can I avoid the installation of this patch on all the machines?
    What can be wrong?
    Thank you very much.
    Mr.Clinker
    Uruguay - South America.

    1.) To avoid the installation on all clients simply go to "Services -> Configure Automatic Workstation Update Service" in the SAP Installation Server Administration Tool and disbale the service. If this doesnt work you can delete the package on the installation server an create a new one with the same name. You can than patch the package to the patchlevel you want.
    2.) Try to apply patch 6 Hotfix 2 and see if the problem remains.

  • Support forum message error: "The message contains invalid characters."

    when i try to post a crash report in a forum thread i created, i get the following message:
    "The message contains invalid characters."
    is this a forum bug? are there such things as invalid characters???

    This MAY be totally unrelated - but maybe not.
    The SiteWare is particular about some characters under some circumstances. I have not been alerted like you were, but I have seen this when posting screenshots Using an add-on to my browser that put's the "Title" of the page grabbed into the filename it saves...
    All ASC pages have
    " ... | Apple Support Communities " at the end of the title
    the " | " (vertical 'stroke') is an illegal character in a filename for POSTING to the server -  and there are others
    * the file " ASC | ASC.png " is the same image as the 1st picture I posted - I just changed the name to illustrate
    What is good for the Finder may not be good for the server or the software running these forums.

  • Value 'KIRBYu00A0' of characteristic 0SORTL contains invalid characters

    hello experts!
    i am facing this error while activating 0vendor. data not available either in info object master neither in psa.
    Error Message: Value 'KIRBY ' (hex. '004B004900520042005900A0') of characteristic 0SORTL contains invalid characters
    Message no. BRAIN060
    Diagnosis
    Only the following standard characters are valid in characteristic values by default:
    !"%&''()*+,-./:;<=>?_0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ.
    Furthermore, characteristic values that only consist of the character # or that begin with ! are not valid.
    You are trying to load the invalid characteristic value 1. (hexidecimal representation 004B004900520042005900A0).
    Procedure for System Administration
    Try to change the invalid characters to valid characters.
    If you want values that contain invalid characters to be admitted into the system, make the appropriate setting in BW Customizing. Refer to the documentation describing the requirements for special characters and the possible consequences.
    For more information on the problems involved with valid and invalid characters, click here.
    regards
    vijay

    Hi Vijay,
    after KIRBY is a characteristic value which cannot be interpreted by BW properply / is not in the valid char list.
    KRIBY is hex value 004B0049005200420059
    the invalid char is hex value 00A0  -> online hex converter didn't found a ASCI match.
    To solve the problem you will need to fix the record in the source. Or you go to PSA -> delete all in teh field and re-enter KRIBY.
    Best regards,

  • Saving a file in a with a file name containing Japanese Characters

    Hi,
    I hope some genius out there comes up with the solution to this problem
    Here it is :
    I am trying to save some files using a java program from the command console , and the file name contains japanese characters. The file names are available to me as string values from an InputStream. When I try to write to a File Object containing the japanese characters , I get something like ?????.txt . I found out that I am able to save the files using the unicode value of the java characters.
    So I realize that the trick is to convert the streaming japanese characters , character by character into their respective unicode value and then Create A File Object with that name. The problem is -> I cant find any standard method to convert these characters into their unicode values. Does anyone have a better solution ? Remember , its not writing japanese characters to a file , but creating a file with japanese characters in the file name !!!!
    Regards
    Chandu

    retrive a byte array out of the input Stream and store the values in String using the condtructor
    String(byte [] bytes, String enc)
    where encoding would be Shift_Jis for japanese I guess.
    Now to understand this concept basically all the Strings are unicode however when you are passing a byte array String has no means to know what is the encoding of the byte array, which is being used to instantiate the String value so if no encoding is specified it takes the System value which is mostly iso-8859-1. This leads to displaying ?
    However in case you know the encoding of the array specifying that in the constructor would be a real help.

  • Error: Topic ID "Ầ‾»¿#define" contains invalid characters.

    Hi,
    I have just upgraded to RoboHelp for Word 9. When I compile I get the message:
    Warning - HC3033: File RhubarbRhubarb.hh: The Topic ID "Ầ‾»¿#define" contains invalid characters. The #, =, >, @, !, or \Â˚haracters cannot be used in a WinHelp version 4.0 source file.
    I have 7 files in the project and there is one of these error messages for each file. I checked the .hh files and there is nothing corresponding to that as a Topic ID. I don't use any special characters in my Topic IDs anyway.
    It doesn't seem to be having any effect on my generated project but I'm uneasy about unexplainable error messages. Does anyone have an idea why they're there and how to remove them please?
    regards

    To the best of my knowledge (haven't used Rh for Word for a long time) the only solution is sleuthing the elusive illegal character.

  • Error: 'InfoObject ZDATE contains invalid characters in record 1 in value'

    Dear friends,
    When I am uploading data from oracle datasource (in BW 3.5) I am getting an error 'InfoObject ZDATE contains invalid characters in record 1 in value'. There are no illegal characters in the date instead the date field is blank in datasource. There are other date fields technically the same as ZDATE with blank values but they dont throw an error when scheduler runs.
    Though when I manually upload the data, it's loaded successfully.
    Please suggest where can the error be?
    Regards,
    Amit Srivastava

    You have 2 options:
    1. Corect your data for the characteristics that give errors.
    Or
    2. go to SPRO in BW - Netweaver - BW - general settings - maintain permitted characters.
    In this screen, you maain tain any special characteristic that you the system to recognise and accept. In your case, take your characteristics that give error and add to this.
