Enterprise Project custom field with Lookup table

[Robert]

Hello,
I created a Lookup Table.
Then I created a custom field (entity : Project) attached to that Lookup
Table.
I set this field as Required.

In the Project Information dialog in Project Pro 2007, I can see this field
with the "*". It has a bouton like a drop down list, but if I click on it,
there is no Lookup Table.
What did I missed?
Thanks

Hello Marcel,
I cleaned the local project cache then that worked fine !
Thanks

PS: what is the 'obvious' relationship between the local cache and the new
custom field with its lookup table?

Hello Robert,

When opening MS Project 2007 the enterprise custom field definitions are
loaded from the server and saved in your local cache folder. In pre-sp1
installations on MS project 2007 professional the incorrect clean-up of the
local cache could cause an incorrect display of values in the custom lookup
tables. Also a known issue with the local cache is that a project will remain
in the state "check-in pending" once it hase been closed in stead of
correctly cehck in again.

Marcel.
