change project manager/owner (the one that approves PWA task updat

[Jeff]

Hi All,
I have a problem that I can't find a solution to.
Employee 1 has created project templates. I use a template to create a
project and publish. In Project Center - Edit Project Properties, I am the
Owner. Employee 1, though, is still the person that receives PWA Task updates
for approval.
What am i missing??

Thanks, Jeff

Sorry - PS2007; WSS3.0

Jeff --

In any Task view, such as the Gantt Chart view, temporarily insert the
Status Manager field. On the first regular task, select your own name in
the Status Manager field and press the Enter key. You will need to do this
for every regular task in the project, but you can speed up the process by
using the Fill Handle in the lower right corner of the cell to "fill down"
your name into each additional task. By the way, this issue was fixed by a
previous Service Pack or Hotfix. Make sure that your company has applied
Service Pack #2 and the latest Cumulative Update to WSS, to Project Server
2007, and to each copy of Microsoft Project Professional 2007 as well. Hope
this helps.

Jeff you will need to change the Status Manager within the Schedule.
Open the project in MS Project, insert a colum called Status Manager and
change to name to the new owner.
PS: I would recommend that you upgrade to SP2

Hope this helps

Thank you, Marc. Status Manager was referenced in only 1 of 5 Project books i
have. You've been most helpful.
