How can I allow Users to modify days on Timesheet View

[Scott]

Within Microsoft Project 2003 Web Access. I cannot seem
to allow users to enter time on a daily basis.

I have tried modifying the time entry method under
Tools->Customize->Publish fields

AND

Through the Web Access admin "Customize Web Access" screen.

Assigned users can only seem to edit Actual/remaining
columns on left hand side of timesheet view.

I have created the project as follows:

1. Created a task with a single project in Project Pro2003
2. Chose Build team from enterprise and move single user
to team.
3. Modify task and add single user assignment
4. Publish All Information.
5. Log into Project Server Web Access as the assigned user
and go to timesheet view... cannot edit right hand values


HELP!!

Thanks in advance,

Scott

If you are a project manager, and your Project Server administrator has not
locked the default method of tracking progress, you can change the method of
tracking progress for each project by doing the following:

1. Open the project
2. Click Tools - Customize - Published Fields
3. Select the "Hours of work done per time period" option at the top of the
dialog
4. Click OK
5. Click Collaborate - Publish - Republish Assignments

Step #5 will "push" the new method of tracking progress to each user's
timesheet for the selected project. Repeat steps#1-5 for each project you
manage.

If you are the Project Server administrator and you wish everyone to use a
different method of tracking than the one currently selected, then do the
following:

1. Log into PWA with administrator permissions
2. Click the Admin menu
3. Click the Customize Project Web Access link
4. Select the "Hours of work done per day or per week" method of tracking
5. If appropriate, select the "Force project managers..." option to lock
down the method of tracking
6. Select the "Resources should report their hours worked every day" option
7. Specify your organization's definition of a "Current Task"
8. Click the Save Changes button
9. Ask EVERY project manager to open EVERY project and click Collaborate -
Publish - Republish Assignments

Do know this, however, any task assignment that has actual progress entered
against it will not have its method of tracking changed by either sequence
of steps. Hope this helps.

Thanks Dale,

Looks like the previously entered actual hours were
causing the issue.
