Graphical Indicator - Works in P2K7 Pro but not in PWA

[Jason C]

I'm running P2K7 Server and created a simple Custom Field with a Graphical
Indicator to display stoplights for the [Finish Variance] value (ie Baseline
Finish vs. Finish). Everything works like a charm when I import that column
in my schedule within Project Pro 2K7. However when I add this Custom Field
to a view within PWA I simply get back the data value. So if a project is 0d
late I should get a nice Green stoplight, but I just get the 0d value in my
PWA view. Again, the column in Pro displays the graphic perfectly.

Any ideas on what may be causing this anomaly?

The question has to be asked, after changing the custom field did you
re-publish the project?

Yes it was Re-published. Additionally, I'm running instances of PS2K7 on two
totally different networks and on one of the networks I get the graphical
indicator to display in my PWA view. On the other it does not. Same Custom
Field, same formula, same everything. Double and Triple checked.

I'm wondering if it has something to do with the version of IE, my ActiveX
control, so forth.

If there are any thoughts or theories I'd love to hear them. Thanks.

I assume it shows correctly in the Project, and you are publishing from
Project rather than PWA?

Yes, the Graphical Indicators display and function properly in Project Pro
2007. Yes, publishing occurs from the Project Pro 2K7 client software, not
PWA.
