Error When opening Projects

[Dean]

When I open a Project from Project Server 2002, I get the following error
message:
The enterprise global already contains a view named Gantt Chart.
Do you want to replace the view with the one from the enterprise
global.....?

What is causing this and how can I prevent it?

TIA

I had this same problem and this is what I discovered. I had a user create a
project on their hard drive, and when the "save as file" box appeared they
selected "save project with global items except enterprise outline codes."
That causes a problem if that project is ever then saved to the server. I
have learned that if a user selects the other option, "currently loaded
global items", this problem does not occur.

I also found the following but haven't tried it yet...

1. Open Microsoft Project Professional and log into Project Server
with administrator permissions

2. Click Tools - Enterprise Options - Open Enterprise Global

3. Click Tools - Organizer

4. From the list of Views on the right (in the Enterprise Global),
select the Gantt Chart view and any other non-enterprise views (do not select
the Enterprise Gantt Chart view)

5. Click the Delete button

6. Click the Tables tab

7. From the list of Tables on the right (in the Enterprise Global),
select the Entry table and any other non-enterprise tables (do not select the
Enterprise Entry table)

8. Click the Delete button

9. Click the Close button

10. Save and close the Enterprise Global file

11. Close Microsoft Project

12. Ask all Project Managers to exit Microsoft Project Professional and
to log into Project Server again to get the latest changes to the Enterprise
Global.

Hope this helps.

Dean,

It seems to be Gantt Chart view added to your Enterprise global. Gantt
Chart View should appear in MS project Pro.

In this case Gantt Chart View also appearing in your Enterprise
global.

Please do the following:

1) Open Enterprise Global (Tools -> Enterprise Options -> Open
Entrprise Global)

2) Tools -> Organizer -> Views Tab

3) Delete View "Gantt Chart" from Checked-Out-Enterprise Global

(Highlight Gantt Chart from Checked-out Enterprise Global. Click on
Delete)

4) Save

5) Exit

6) Re-launch project pro.

Regards
Chak

Dean --

This problem was caused by your Project Server administrator, who "polluted"
your company's Enterprise Global file with a non-enterprise View (the Gantt
Chart view). Ask your Project Server administrator to refer to the
following FAQ for the source of and solution to the problem:

Dean:

When you have the Enterprise Global open, never apply a local view. Always
keep your view set to an Enterprise view and this will not likely happen.
