Auto generated IDs for projects imported to PS2007

Hello,

We give unique numbers to projects that we execute. So let's say that we
approve a new project today, the project would be assigned the next
consecutive number, let's say PM-375. The next project approved would take
the next number, i.e PM-376. That number becomes unique and no other project
can have the same number. The system that we used before would generate this
"ID" automatically. Is there a way to do this with Project Server 2007, i.e.
importing a project and the system automatically assigning the next
consecutive number? and if yes, how???

I am looking at starting a spreadsheet, but that would somewhat be going
backwards from what we had before?????

Thanks!!!

This feature is not available out of the box, however it is possible to
achieve by

1. Implementing Portfolio Server alongside Project Server, or,
2. Developing a custom solution (server side event, or vb script), both of
which are very straight forward for a half competent developer.
