How to change the owner of a project in PS 2007, not published

[Wilt Thomas Rovira Britton]

How can i change the owner of a Project that it's not published? One project
manager left the company and i need that another project manager take the
ownership of the project.

Thanks,
Wilt Rovira

Wilt --

If you are using the default security settings in Project Server 2007, the
new PM will not be able to open the project in question. To work around
this, the Project Server administrator (or someone in the Portfolio Managers
group) should open the project in Project Professional 2007 and publish it.
Then the administrator can make the new PM the Owner of the project. The PM
will need to set him/herself as the Status Manager for each task and then
republish the project. Hope this helps.

Hi, Dale.
If i publish the project, team members will receive notification and the
project is not approved. Is there another way?
Why did Microsoft changed the publish function? It was ok in PS2003.

Thanks,
Wilt

I don't work for Microsoft so I don't know. I gave you a way to solve this
problem, but you seem to insist on arguing with every response I give you.
So perhaps it is time for someone else to answer your questions...
