Custom web part in PWA with custom fields for new project,

[ctd]

Hello,
I post this question in the project group but thought this may be a more
appropriate forum....hope someone can point me to the right direction.

I need to create a page in PWA that allows users to create a new
project. In my custom page, there are custom fields/dropdownlists with
values. For example, I will need to populate a dropdownlist with division
names (A, B, C, or D...), and the values of other dropdownlists on the page
will be populated based on whatever division name I select from my
dropdownlist.

For this, I create a custom web part page, and created custom field
"Division" with lookup table "Divivison", and associate it with "Project",
but how do I populate their values in my "Division" dropdownlist ? And how
do I connect the values between lookup tables so I can populate other custom
fields based on a selected value ? When I click the "Save" button to save
and publish my project, some of the fields on my page were saved into the
project table (ie. Project Name, Create Date), but where and how can I save
the selected values of those custom fields to associate them with that
particular project ? Should I create a new field in the project table ?

Note that I need this page in PWA, and users don't have access to Project
Professional.

Thanks much in advance for any help!

Hi,

Are you familiar with the Activity / Proposals feature of Project Server
2007? It's a PWA based feature that enables you to create projects within
the server, without needing Project Professional. There are a couple of
limitations to using it, but you will have full access to tag up the project
with project enterprise custom fields, which sounds like what you are trying
to re-implement.

Regards,

Alex

Hi Alex,
Thanks. Look like the Activity feature is the same with what I try to
implement. Do you know if we can customize this page to include other fields
like departments and resources ? Also, when we save and publish an
activity, all the info on the screen including my custom fields will be saved
in which table(s) ?

Thanks,
