Hi David.
Gary's brought this concern to my attention, and I wanted to take this
opportunity to respond.
As Gary already mentioned, there will certainly be limited/reduced
functionality if you use Microsoft Office 2000 with Microsoft Windows
SharePoint Services, whether or not Microsoft Project Server 2003 is
involved. You can demonstrate this by going directly into SharePoint and
uploading a document and observing the behavior of how Microsoft Word
interacts with the document.
For a good overview of what does and does not with between Microsoft Office
2000 and Microsoft Windows Sharepoint Services, see the following:

In addition, it really would be helpful if we could get your situation
reviewed by Product Support Services. That way, we could capture the steps
to reproduce the problem (if the problem is reproducible) and report the
problem. Without steps to reproduce te problem, it's difficult for us to
further assist.
There are multiple ways to contact Microsoft Product Support Services for
assistance. The best place for you to review your options is
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=cntactms&style=home.

| Gary,
|
| More info... I think I found what is going on, but I do not know what is
| causing it. Everything that is happening is local and I believe in the
| registry. When I go through the steps to cause the problem there is an
| entry in the registry that somehow does not know who I am logged in as
| anymore. In fact, even if I 'Cancel' the Username dialog a few times, the
| PWA web page eventually shows. Here is the location of the entry:
|
|
[HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-3865435737-3326842981-867535038-1005\Software\Microsoft
| \Office\11.0\Common\Internet\Server Cache]
|
| I'm not a registry guy, but if I deleted the entry below this one that
| refers to my Server name, log out and back in, things work fine. Just
don't
| touch the Discuss button.
