SYMPTOMS
If a project's filename or the task name in a project contains an accent circumflex (^), you may receive a general protection (GP) fault in Microsoft Project.

If the task name contains an accent circumflex, you may receive a GP fault when you choose the Set Reminder command (from the Tools menu, choose Workgroup, and then choose Set Reminder) or when you choose the Set Reminder tool on the Workgroup toolbar.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.

MORE INFORMATION
Although the accent circumflex is a control character, when it's used in a filename it is considered to be a valid MS-DOS character.
