Disconnection of TFS from Project 2007 - Work Item ids get blank in Project 2007 File

[Ayesha Khan]

Hi,

I am facing a problem in integration of TFS with Microsoft Project 2007. Let
me explain first what we did, we have assigned task in TFS to respective
resource and Import all the Task in MPP by available option "Get Work Item"
against Team system Project. Then I did proper alignment of task and Set
predecessors and finally publish the project plan on Project Web Access.
Project Plan shows Values of TFS in its custom columns. Column mapping can
be defined in MappingFile.xml, Work Item id is mapped in TEXT10 field of
Project 2007.

Initially Plan shows all the mapping correctly and get Published
successfully on Project web Access(Project Server), but since few days When
i open a MPP file the Work Item field is blank although other TFS columns
are populated correctly. I am unable to figure out the problem with the Work
Item ids. Keep in mind that my plan is still connected with Team System
Project because Option for "Choose Team system project" is grayed out.

Kindly help me out with the issue.

Thanks,

Ayesha
