Define WBS Code

[S. Persoon]

Hello,

In the Enterprise Global Template I defined a code for the WBS. Now I do not
want to use this predefined WBS code so I removed the code mask from the EGT.
Somehow each time I re-open MS Project Pro the WBS Code is still defined in
new projects I want to create. In the Organizer I can see that WBS is a field
in my Global (+cached Enterprise) and in my EGT as well. Each time I delete
it from the Organizer and restart MS Project Pro the WBS field still exists
in the Global (+cached Enterprise) and the EGT. So somehow I am not able to
remove it. Does anybody know how to do this?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Sylvester.

Sylvester:

For custom fields in 2007, you need to delete them from the Web Interface.
After you do this, you'll likely need to delete your local cache files. From
Start > Run

Enter %appdata%
Navigate to Microsoft\project
Delete both folders

Gary,

Thanks for your reply, but I am using the 2003 version. Can you tell me what
to do with this version?

Thanks in advance,
Regards.

You checkout the enterprise global and delete the field using the organizer.
You must save, close and checkin the enterprise global and then exit
completely out of Project and restart it.

Gary,

Thanks for your reply, but that did not help. I have tried that more than
once. The problem is that the field is not available in the Enterprise Global
Template, but in my Global.mpt. Yesterday I solved the problem with your
reply on the 2007 version. What I did is the following:

1. I first removed the WBS field by using the Organizer
2. Go to Start / Run
3. Type %appdata%
4. Go To Microsoft / MS Project
5. Delete the two folders

That solved my problem. The WBS code is not longer predefined in my new
projects I want to create.

Thanks for your help.

Regards,
Sylvester.
