-or-
In addition, you may receive one of the following error messages, depending on your operating system.

CAUSE
This behavior occurs when you try to copy, edit, or assign a base calendar with a name longer than 51 characters.
NOTE: You can only make the base calendar name longer than 51 characters if you edit the project outside of Microsoft Project 98. For example, by saving a project in a database, and editing it in Microsoft Access or a similar program.
WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, rename the base calendar by following these steps:
- Open the project in the database.
- Open the Calendar table.
- In the CalendarName field, change the Calendar name to have 51 characters or fewer.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the versions of Microsoft Project listed above.
MORE INFORMATION
Microsoft Project 98 allows a maximum of 51 characters when you create a calendar name. In a project within a database, you can create or modify a calendar name to have more than 51 characters. In Microsoft Project 98, opening this project from a database does not generate an error until you access the calendar.
