Error in Project Server 2007 when user clicks on Click to Create in MyTimesheets

[Mark Keller]

I have a user that every time the click "Click to Create in My Timesheets a JavaScript error is thrown. The page stays on the My Timesheets screen.

The error is:
Automation server can't create object
Shell.js
Line 820 Char 3

He is using IE 8. I am running IE 8 as well. He logged in from my machine and had no issue.


Any help would be appreciated.

Make sure he has the ActiveX components installed (what does he see if
he views Project Center?). They are likely installed properly on your
system and not his. That was the symptom/solution for me, hope it gets
you round your problem as well.

Cheers,

Dave,
I appreciate your response. All other parts of PWA function correctly with no issues. This user is not having any other issues.

do you know which control in specific is used for Timesheets?

Mar, as far as I know the gospel on what is what is here:
http://blogs.msdn.com/chrisfie/arch...d-portfolio-server-2007-activex-controls.aspx

It was a long shot, I had the same symptoms and installing the ActiveX
controls worked for me. Not sure why it worked for me, but you could try
removing all the IE8 add-ons and see if that fixes it.

Cheers,
Dave
