Can I change the name of a published project?

Is there a way to change the name of a published project
without having to add a new one and delete the old?
Thank you,

Sorry to give you bad news, but it sounds like you already know the process:

1. Save the file as an .MPP file
2. Ask your Project Server administrator to delete it from the Project
Server database for you
3. Use the Import Wizard to import the .MPP file back into the Project
Server database using the new name you desire

Hope this helps, even though it's probably not the answer you hoped for.

i solved this problem connecting to the project server with Remote desktop,
running MS SQL Enterprise Manager and renamed the projects in the database
(table MSP_PROJECTS). It is quick and easy, but you have to have the remote
access to the project server...

So... changing the name of project in database IS possible... you have to
change the name of project in three different tables, some od them has the
name in more than one column...

tables are:

MSP_VIEW_PROJ_PROJECTS_ENT
MSP_WEB_PROJECTS
MSP_PROJECTS

when changing the name in these tables, project works fine again...

Christian,

when changing the name in one table only, it is not working... You have to
change the name in these three tables:

MSP_VIEW_PROJ_PROJECTS_ENT
MSP_WEB_PROJECTS
MSP_PROJECTS

After doing this, the project is rename and works fine in PRJ2002 and PWA...
