Overwriting custom fields in MS Project 2007

[Tracey]

If I create resource custom fields in a project plan, that is only relevant
to that specific project, how do I prevent the info from being overwritten -
for enterprise resources - when I publish the plan to the PWA & then reopen
it?

Thanx Tracey

Tracey --

Because of the way Microsoft has designed Project Server 2007, project
managers are not allowed to specify ANY information about enterprise
resources, even if you use a local Resource field to specify the
information. Therefore, there is nothing you can do to change this and
resolve your problem. Sorry. Hope this helps.

You would have to store the relevent information at the assignment level
custom field. So the data would reside against the resource/task
relationship rather than against the resource itself.

This would be done in the resource usage or task usage views.

Thanx to you both.
