this is usually a problem when you have a malformed string in a formula object. typically it is casued when the programmer types a file path in a formula box as such:

"C:\my files\data"

the "\" character is called a scape character and it is used in strings in combinatione with other characters to specify a special character such as a new line "\n" or a tab "\t". So when you actually want to have a "\" in your string you have to type it as such: "\\", so the correct way of wrting the directory path above is:

"C:\\my files\\data"
