"Unable to count the members of the level" error

Hi guys,
I encountering the following error whenever I try to create a new dimension
in the MS Analysis Server.
"Unable to count the members of the 'Area Code' level.Please check your
table joins."
I have check my table joins, all the valid. Also I am using the snowflake
schema.
How to resolve the issue'
Thanks
Akber.When you process the dimension, the actual SQL that Analysis Server sends to
SQL Server is shown in the processing window. You can copy this and execute
it yourself in Query Analyzer to see if the results you get are what you
expect.

is a best practice with Analysis Services.
To enable it, bring up Analysis Manager. Right-click on the server and
select "Properties..."
Then go to the "Logging" tab. Enable the processing log file and specify
some well known location, e.g. C:\OLAP_Processing.txt
Then all of the SQL Statements, begin/end times, # of records processed,
etc. -- everything that comes out in the processing dialog box -- will also
be written to the system-wide processing log file. This allows you to keep
long-term history of what was processed, when, and by-whom.

>|||and whats appends if you create the same SQL query in the query analyzer,
does the same query (with the same join) return something?
you can catch the query through the log or through the SQL Server profiler.
also, does your tables have some data ?
another way to understand what AS do is to put youself some value in the
dimension count property of your dimension level (put 10 for example)
then process the dimension and you'll see (in the process dialog box) again
the query used by AS to retreive the database values.
