Problems connecting Project Pro 2003 to Project Server 2003

[Lech Migdal]

Hi

I have problem, mentioned here few times, but cant find a solution.
I can login to the Proj Server 2003 using web access, I can do it
clicking on the Resource Center, but when I want to connect to use
Enterprise Options, connection fails. (I have set the project to ask
about the connecting every time it starts)

I get following error message:

Project was unable to establish a connection with the
selected Project Server. This could be caused by a loss
of network connectivity, invalid user name or password,
lack of an enterprise global template, or problems with
the Project Server or database, or your project server
may not have enterprise features enabled.

- network connectivity is not the problem (both Pro and Server are on
the same computer)
- user and password are ok (I have tried to provide wrong password and
the message was different)
- enterprise features are enabled

I can publish projects (but they are not enterprise projects), use
resources (but these are not enterprise resources), etc, so I think
it's not the problem with Project Server or database.

Woud appreciate any help.

thank you in advance

Facing the same problems :
Could it be the problem of the Project Pro 2003 client?

Ok, problem solved, had to restore the global enterprise template.

thanks anyway

Hi There,

A possible solution would be to rename the global.mpt file on the client
machine to something else (like gobal.mpt.bak), and then to reconnect to the
project server. I have seen this happen where the global.mpt file has
become corrupted on the local machine.
