Problem with Imported Enterprise Fields in a Standalone .mpp

[DK]

I run a standalone Integrated Master Schedule using MS Project Professional
2003, I don't use or have access to Project Server.

However, one of our sub-contractors uses Project Server and it seems that
ever since I cut and pasted some of their work packages into our IMS, we now
have custom enterprise fields (Text, Cost, Outline Codes, etc.) showing in
our schedule.

They don't appear in the Global.MPT, just the fields available to the
project schedule file. I can't seem to delete them using the rganizer and
when I try to customise an enterprise field they are greyed out.

I wouldn't normally bother, but every time I try and insert a new column I
have to scroll through 30 or so custom enterprise fields and it's getting a
bit annoying.

Many thanks in advance,

DK

Row-by-row cut and paste can be a dangerous thing around Project Server.
I'm not certain that this will help, but you could try saving to XML and
then reopening from the XML file, but this may preserve the pollution as
well. You could also try removing the part of the plan that introduced the
pollution. The only certain way to fix this is to rebuild the plan from
scratch.
