I am trying to write a C# backend program that will handle the
database maintenance that I would otherwise have to do via Microsoft's
Analysis Services front end GUI Wizards. Currently I am having a
problem with recreating the SliceValue. The value is a time dimension
and should equate to [Monthly Dates].[Year].[Quarter].[Month] and
instead it is these same values, but instead of being seperated by
periods it has some sort of non-displayable character (maybe a
newline) that is placing each value on a new line. The error I
receive when I attempt to process the partition is as follows:
An unhandled exception of type
'System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException' occurred in
ProcessCubes.exe
Additional information: Processing error [Object does not exist]
'[All]
[2003]
[Quarter 2]
[May]'
The code is below.

DatabaseName, string Frequency, string CubeName, string FactTableName,

Please help me, I'm a desparate man!
