Project Server 2007 Loading Grid Problem

[msaidy]

When accessing the Project Center in PS 2007, and after downloading active X,
I get a screen "Loading Grid..." and it does not display anything. I tried
cleaning cache and re-installing active x with no luck. Active x is enabled
in IE. Any Idea on how to resolve this in XP Sp2 w/IE 6? Thx.

Try adding the PWA url to trusted sites in IE.

I checked, it is added, but still have this problem.

Set the trusted sites security level to low
Under custom level, make sure that access across domains is enabled and that
you allow unsigned activeX objects

If those don't work, then:

Make sure the client workstation has the latest version of MDAC
Make sure that the client doesn't have firewall settings that could block it

If that doesn't work then:

Tell us what browser add-ins you have installed
What Anti virus program are you using?

Hi Gary -

Thank you for responding. I have two of your Project books and they are
great.

I did all of the below and I still have the loading grid problem. Any other
thoughts or ideas?

I have the trusted sites security level set to low
I have access across domains set to enabled
I have unsigned activex objects set to alllow
I have MDAC 2.8 sp1
I have the client firewall not enabled

I have turned off all browser (IE 6) add-ins
I am using Symnatic Anti Virus v10

sometimes turning off browser add-ins isn't enough, at time they need to be
deinstalled. Norton has definitely been implicated in this type of behavior
for 2002, 2003, and 2007.

We also have the same problem... When one of my associates tries to load
Project or Resource center, they only get the "Loading grid..." message. The
strange thing is that it didn't even ask him to download any ActiveX
controls. He is running IE7 and has Project 2007 client installed. When I
tried it on my computer it asked me to download ActiveX which took 5sec and
then it worked fine. Has anyone had any similar problems and has a solution
for this? Any suggestions will be appreciated.

We are also having this problem. We've shut off all security, add-ins, cleaned cache, uninstalled and reinstalled project (Project 2007 collaborate functions don't work if IE doesn't work) and it still gets stuck loading grid. Using IE7 or Project 2007 in the resource center we get the error "AddResBtn is null or not an object".
We followed the directions at http://technet2.microsoft.com/Offic...054b-486b-b20b-52148466f0611033.mspx?mfr=true
reinstalled the ActiveX controls manually but that didn't help either.
There is nothing on the MicroSoft WebSite about this problem.
If anyone has solved this please post the solution.
Thanks.

Hi Gary (Mr. NY)- Nice to meet Dale and you at the Project Conference, looking forward to adding to my collection of your books!

I also had this issue (Task Updates) after installing SP2 and the April 09 patch. As a temporary resolution, our PMs go to other Launch Pad functions - then go back to Task Updates and the refresh has occurred. We contacted Microsoft support (mid-Sept 09) and they indicated it was a known issue (a single project schedule may have resources assigned at a summary level). Microsoft is working on a Hot Fix, which should be posted on Brian Smith's blog soon.
