ProjectPro 2003 - Custom Fields

[Tony]

I have a ProjectPro question that I hope someone can answer.

We’ve inherited a custom solution that was built by a consulting company,
for our company. This custom solution uses ProjectPro 2003, ProjectServer
2003 and SharePoint 2003. We’re are having a problem with a custom field for
some projects in ProjectPro. There are some projects where the original
value for the custom field has mysteriously changed to a different value.
The value for the custom field is mandatory and it is populated from a
dropdown list. This solution has been running for several years but this
problem started about 2-3 months ago.

Do you know if there are any known problems with ProjectPro, custom fields?
If there are known problems with custom fields, are there any issues with the
custom field values changing to a different value?

There is a known bug which shows the wrong name for the field in Project Web
Access - thus the contents of those fields look wrong.
If you updated to SQL Server 2005 this may be the cause:

The latest service pack should fix it.
