Unable to edit user in PWA 2007

[jamesspelt]

Hey folks

I am having an odd problem with Project Server 2007. When I click on some
users in the Server Settings > Manage Users I receive the following error:

Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at
Microsoft.Office.Project.PWA.CommonControls.XmlGrid.CreateControlHierarchy(Boolean useDataSource)

Any ideas?

I am having the same issue. Have you resolved this ?

Why are managing users directly in SharePoint rather than through the
Project Server interface?

Hi Gary,

I am editing the users through the project server interface, and this is
where I am getting the error.

Riaan:

I can only assume from your "me-too" post that you are doing exactly the
same thing as the original poster. If you are not doing the same thing, then
you have a different problem. If that's the case, you need to describe what
you're doing rather than relying on someone else's post to make your problem
understandable. So start a new thread and explain your problem.

No, I am editing through the PWA interface. Don't worry, I have reinstalled
Project Server and the problem is resolved.

I have resolved this by reinstalling Project Server. Sorry this is not help!

Gary, Riaan appears to be doing the exact same thing as myself up to this
point.

I managed to have solved this issue. The issue is related to the
checked-in.out status of the users. All users was marked as checked-out but
PWA 2007 seen them as checked-in. To solve this I had to update the
res_checkoutby column in the msp_resources table to null. All works fine now.
