Unable to see tasks in PWA

[Huy Nguyen]

Hi all, I'm new to MS Project 2003 and having a problem confuguring MS
Project to run.
I have imported some users from my company's active directory and therefore
making them enterprise resources. I've created a project and assigned
some tasks to those users. I've also published it to Project Server and got
some emails about newly assiged tasks. My colleagues received similar emails
about the tasks.

Well, the problem is when any user (including myself) logs in to his machine
using the domain account and opens the Project Web Access, that user can see
the published enterprise project under the Projects tab, but there was
nothing showned for him under the Task tab though I had already assigned
tasks to him.
We've tried that on different machines using different domain accounts and
no task assignment appeared for anyone at all.
Even when we clicked on the links embbeded in the notification emails, still
no task is showing up.

Did I do sth wrong ? What is that ? And how could I fix it ?

BTW, what is the difference between a workgroup and an enterprise project ?

Thanks a lot

Might be users are looking at current tasks and your dates filter display is not quite right.
Current tasks also has a definition in PWA ->Admin->Customize ProjectWebAccess

Did you Collaborate/Publish/Republish Assignments?

Hi Rick,
I did that. I also tried to add new assignments, assign it to resources...
and collaborately pulished it. Thing is still the same: users received
notification emails, go to Tasks and see... nothing.
As I said before, users still can see all the tasks of the project (in the
Projects Center) including newly added tasks. But we can not see anything in
My Tasks page. This seems really weird to me. Is it a configuration problem ?

John,
I checked the PWA->Admin->Customize and the current value in Define current
tasks section is set to 10 days. Well, i just posted the project 2 days ago.
However, I still tried to set that value up to 20 days and updated the
project. Not work either.
Do you have any idea ?

Highlight the project in PWA Project Centre and press Build Team. Check to
make sure your resources are Committed. If not chnage their booking type to
Committed in the Build Team window & Save. You will then need to open the
plan in Pro and Republish Assignments (yet again!). I am assuming the tasks
are current too. I had a user wondering why they didn't have tasks on their
timesheet but their tasks didn't start until mid-January!

Thanks a lot Rick. This definitely helped.
Well, I still have a doubt about the Booking Type. Could you pls explain it
a little more clear for me ?
