Team Foundation Server Illegal characters in path

I have the following situation:

We recently migrated from Source Safe to Team Foundation Server with our projects. But some of these projects are VS2003 projects and can not be converted into VS2005 projects. Therefor we need to work with VS2003, Microsoft MSSCCI provider and Team Explorer. This is al configured as it should be. I can do Get Latest etc.. from Team Explorer.

Now when I try to open my .NET 1.1 project in VS2003 I get a "Illegal characters in path" error from which I can not find the source. There aren't any foreign characters in our paths except spaces, underscores and dots. Anybody knows how to solve this problem?

ASKER

It seemed to be that TFS can't handle a project which still has bindings to other VSS servers in it very well.

I solved it by:
- Do a "Get Latest".
- Then disconnect the project
- Then unbind the project
- Connect to TFS again
- Bind the project to a new TFS directory
- Check In
Done.

That was all.. Some solutions are so easy ;)
