publish to teamsite

[ronjon]

for some time we (my company) are using ms project 2007 for planning. we are
now testing with project server to store all project information and letting
resources using timesheets to enter task progress.

I noticed when publishing a project i have a choice to publish to a new
teamsite or publish to a sub workspace of another project.

All our project are customer based, so i would be nice if we could give our
customers access to their own teamsite and display all projects in that
teamsites as subsites. The only way i now can create a master customer
teamsite to use as a provisioning site for my projects is to create an empty
"customer" project, else i have no option to select the customer teamsite in
the "Publish Project" popup when publishing.

Are the other ways to create an emtpy teamsite and connect ms project to
this teamsite to use as a container for future projects and sub-teamsites?

You are on the right track, my friend. When you know you want to create a
Project Workspace for a master project, the best way to accomplish this is
to create and save a blank project that will become the master project, and
then publish that blank project. This creates the Project Workspace for the
master project. Then you can open and publish each project that will become
subprojects in the master project, and create a sub-workspace of the Master
Project workspace. Finally, you can create the actual master project by
opening the blank project and inserting each subproject individually. You

To extend your knowledge, you should also read our Project Server Help Blog
post on how to create navigation tabs for the sub-workspaces in the master
project's Workspace at:

Hope this helps.
