Windows Sharepoint Services 3.0, Project 2003 and custom coulmns

(I was asked to post this question in Project Server newsgroup as well so
here it is:)

We have a Windows Sharepoint Services 3.0 server (WSS3.0) that we have
created some document libraries that have some mandatory custom columns (ie.
project number etc).

When we try to save a project 2003 file to that library we are not like any
of the other Office 2003 products (word, excel, powerpoint) prompted for
these mandatory fields. The file is being saved to the library, but as
"checked out". We have to edit properties, add the mandatory column entry and
then we can check in the file.

In fact, if we create a library with a custom column that is not mandatory,
we
are not prompted to enter data in the custom column field during save, we
are just promptet for the sharepoint default fields (filename etc).

I personally believe this is due to Project 2003 not being fully "sharepoint
aware". Does anyone else have any clues?

Your answer would be most appreciated
