Error- Cannot connect - Project was unable to establish a connecti

[FMCyb]

One RM is getting this error when he tries to connect to Project server 2003
using Project Professional 2003 with AD authentication.

- he was able to connect to server before
- The URL in MS Project Server Accounts is correct & even says "...
successfully connected to server.." when you hit Test Connection button.

I've tried following MS KB articles, but still same result.

Even on another test environment some where else, Im getting the same error
if I try to connect to Project server using Project Professional on Project
Web server. But I can connect to same server using Project Professional on
Project SQL server.

Seems like I'm having this issue with environment which have dual server
configuration. (Project Server & SQLServer installed on seperate boxes)

Any idea / solution / feedback?

There is something on this user's machine interfering with the user making a
data connection to the SQL database. Can the user successfully logon on
another users machine? If so, look for Browser Addins, Browser security
settings, MDAC version on the client, the use of interfering programs such
as popup blockers and the discussions bar in IE.

Thanks Gary for ur feedback.

I resolved the issue by repairing MS Project Professional.
