SYMPTOMS
Attempts to perform a Copy or Paste operation or to create a new object by using the Cube/Dimension Editor may cause the following error message to occur:

This behavior occurs when you remotely administer an OLAP 7.0 server, from an Analysis Manager workstation, after you migrate the OLAP 7.0 repository to SQL Server.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for the Microsoft SQL Server 2000 (the Analysis Services Components - Sql2kasp1.exe). For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
