SYMPTOMS
When the Windows Help Compiler compiles a help project file, the following error message appears:

Error P1083: Invalid context identification number

CAUSE
The representation of the context identification number begins with a zero and contains the digit 8 or 9.

RESOLUTION
Remove the leading zeros from the number.

MORE INFORMATION
The Windows Help Compiler parses a number that has a leading zero as an octal number. C compilers also interpret numbers in this manner. Only the digits 0 through 7 are legal in an octal number.
