User cannot logon from project client to server 2007

[Aldo]

I installed and configured Project Server 2007 (PS2007). Through internet
explorer I'm able to access PWA as _any_ user with http://pserver/pwa.

Through MS Office Project 2007 (MSOP2007) client pc I'm able to login with
the main admin account used to install PS2007. But not with any other user
account. The error is simply that the username and password are rejected.

I have search this quite a bit without sucess.
I looked here http://project.mvps.org/faqs.htm and there are no helpful tips.

I'll appreciate any tips you may have.
Thanks.

Hi,

In future, please post project server related questions to the project
server news group as you are likely to get more response there.

To try and answer your question, is the user added to the project manager
role in Project Server? Only PMs can log in to project Server with Project
Professional. IS the project server address in Internet Explorer's trusted
sites?

Make sure you upgrade to SP1 as soon as possible otherwise you will
encounter a number of bugs!

Rod,

You have no idea how grateful I'm of your reply.
The light bulb just went on; I was looking in the wrong place
in the account settings. But the answer was to add the user to
the Project Manager role and check that checkbox that says "Logon
to Project Server from Project Professional" in the account settings in
the http://pserver/pwa site in the Manage Server->Manage Users place.

thanks very much and next time I'll go to the PServer forum.
