Published Projects not visible

[Mooncrow]

We are currently running MS Project Server 2003, publishing with MS
Project 2000 Professional.

Once our Project Manager publishes the project, it appears in the
available Projects lists. However, when opened, there are no published
tasks, resources or details. No matter what is published, or
republished the details will not appear.

Once we reboot the MS project server 2003 (physical shutdown and
reboot), the project details are available/visible. This is not the
most practical way of updating the Project Server.

Has anyone else a) ever experienced this or b) have any suggestions?

Mooncrow --

Why in the world are you using Project 2000 with Project Server 2003? You
need to use Microsoft Project Professional 2003 with Project Server 2003,
and then publishing should be no issue at all. Hope this helps.

Because that was what the company had bought for desktop Project
Management before I got here. I implemented Project Server 2003 and
the Company did not want to spend the money upgrading the desktop
applications.

Nonetheless, I have obtained MS Project 2003 Professional, published
the same Project that was causing us the issue when I wrote this - same
problem. Project changes do not appear until Server is rebooted.

I also created a new Project with 2003 Professional, same results.
The server needs to be rebooted in order for new project updates to be
visible. The event viewer is free from errors.

The only anomaly I have I noticed is that the under Shared Resources,
the "Use Resources From" selection is greyed out and unavailable. This
is the same in Project 2000 or Project 2003. Resources from the local
projects map accurately to the Project Servers resource pool with no
intervention after the Project is published. Tasks/Risks/Issues are
assigned correctly.

Thanks for the response Dale. I know this is a wierd one. Not one
I've ever seen
