Hello,
What is the use of the 2 "Store" options in the Open dialog of Project Pro
2007:
Working =/= Published
Thanks for your help

The working store is where the project is saved prior to publishing. When it
is published, a copy is taken from the working store and put in the published
store. PWA views take data from the published store. In Pro, you can open a
project from the working store modify it, save it, but not publish it, thus
updating the modifying the project (working store) without effecting the PWA
views. When you have finished modifiying your project (maybe several days
later), you publish it, and then the data goes to the published store.

Thanks a lot Ben,

So, the Working store is the ProjectServer_Draft database in SQL Server ?

You are not restricted to any names for the databases, but best practise is
to name the working store <instancename>_draft, so, if whoever built your
system followed best practise, you are correct in your asertion.

You should also see <instancename>_published, <instancename>_archive,
<instancename>_reporting
