Any ideas why I'm getting this error:Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 90, in execute File "c:\program files (x86)\arcgis\desktop10.1\arcpy\arcpy\analysis.py", line 98, in Select raise eExecuteError: ERROR 000210: Cannot create output C:\Users\jdk588\Documents\New File Geodatabase.gdb\Cafe_27242.0ERROR 000361: The name starts with an invalid characterFailed to execute (Select).Failed to execute (Split).From this tool:

It's obvious I'm missing something, but I don't know what. The value being entered in the pfx is just "Cafe" and it is taken as a GPString under the parameter and then converted to string again at 'name'. So...what gives? Why is the name invalid? And one more thing...why is it dropping that '.0" at the end of the name? The value its pulling from the field is '27240', where is the '.0' coming from??
