Team Member PWA No Access with IE

[gaba53]

I am experiencing very strange behavior from PWA this morning from one
of my Team Members. He can access his PWA Home page, but when he
attempts to go to the 'View my tasks' page the screen appears and
immediatley takes him back to the Home page. The same happens if he
attempts to go to Project Center. I was able to get him to log onto a
different machine and every thing worked perfectly. We are using IE6.

Does anyone know what is causing this? We have tried restarting, all
account settings appear to be correct. I know this is probably not a
Project specific issue, but all of his other web applications seem to
be functioning, and no body else is experiencing any problems. I am
really at a loss here, this is very bizarre.

I would try re-installing the PWA ActiveX controls to see if this is the
problem.

I had that problem once with a client that only had an old version of MDAC.
In the Visual Basic Editor select Tools, References and scroll down to look
at the version of Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects reference. It should be at
least 2.7 or 2.8

You could try re-installing MDAC in case another program has messed with the
registry or....

Simply try clearing cache and also delete the old active x control and
let it reinstall. It's located in \SystemRoot\Downloaded Program
Files . Delete PJ*.* files.

Thanks for all the advice. I have removed and reinstalled all Active
X, MDAC is 2.8 and the problem still persists. I am trying to think if
there is anything I left out. Since my post I have logged into his
machine as a project administrator and I experience the same behavior.
Though it does not redirect me to the Home page when going to the
Admin tab or Resource Center. In resource center none of my resources
are displayed instead I get the following error, "An error occured
while trying to access the resources stored on the database. Either
there are too many resources (33), or the Project Server may not have
the correct DSN configuration. Contact the server administrator."

I actually found a similar post that was a couple of weeks old. That
mentioned a tool that I seem to be missing. I will look into the DSN a
bit further. If anyone can think of anything else please say so. If
not I know I can fix it with a hammer.

Thanks,
Gabe

Hello Gabe,

I saw this message from you on Technet. I have the same problem for one of
my users. Did you find a solution?
If the users logs in on a different machine, no problems occur. Also I can’t
find the needed active components in
C:\windows\downloaded programs. I tried to install them manually, using the
following steps, but that didn’t help.

The ActiveX controls reside in two .cab files that are located on your
Microsoft Project Server site in the following folder:
Microsoft Project Server\IIS Virtual Root\Objects
The two .cab files are:
• Pjclient.cab
• Pjcintl.cab (in the 1033 subfolder or other language folders)
These two cab files contain the following files:
• Pjcintl.cab:
• Pj11enuc.dll
• LangCabENU11.inf (This file is not required for the manual installation of
controls.)

• Pjclient.cab:
• Pjclient11.inf (This file is not required for the manual installation of
controls.)
• Pjres11c.dll
• Pjpront11.dll
• Pjquery11.ocx
