Microsoft Office Project Web Access does not correctly display Microsoft Office Project Server 2003 custom field titles. This occurs when you run Project Server 2003 on a server that is running Microsoft SQL Server 2005.

Consider the following scenario. In Microsoft Office Project Professional 2003, you connect to the server that is running Project Server 2003. You rename the title of the Enterprise Project Text 1 field to My Custom Text Field. Then, you assign the renamed field to a custom Project Center view in Project Web Access. In this scenario, the renamed custom field has a random custom field name for the title. This new name does not match the name that you assigned to the field. Also, the name does not match the original field name.

Note This problem only affects implementations of Project Server 2003 that use SQL Server 2005.

How to obtain the hotfix

This issue is fixed in the Office Project Server 2003 Hotfix Package. For more information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: After you apply the hotfix package to Project Server 2003, you must republish at least one project to update the Project Center views in Project Web Access. After you do this, the correct custom field titles appear in the Project Web Access Project Center views.
