<name> is not a valid project name.

This error generally occurs when the File.NewProject command is issued from the Command window or Find/Command box and an incorrect project name is entered for projectname.

To correct this error

• Verify that the project name does not contain extra spaces and is not a reserved word such as NUL, CON, or AUX.

  —or—

  Re-type the command, omitting the project name.
