Enterprise Global Template Problem

[Liz]

I am working in MS Project Server 2003 and MS Project Professional 2003. I
have created an enterprise template. I am using it to create a new project
with the following steps:
1. Start MSP 2003 Professional
• Make sure Project Server is highlighted in Project Servers Accounts
box
• Click Connect
2. Click the File menu & then New
3. In the left menu – New Project
• Look for the Templates section
• Click on my computer
4. In the templates box
• Click the Enterprise Template tab
• Click the Development Template (w/ Development spelled out)
• Click OK
5. On the file menu
• Click save as
• Give a name (we do not currently have a naming convention, but we
need one)
• Make sure the type is project
if I leave project and come back, though and try to open in project server,
it gives me the message: "The enterprise global already contains a filter
named 'Enterprise Resources" The various options are replace, replace all
and rename - but none of them are what i want. i don't want the message at
all.

Does anyone know the best way to tackle this

I haven't used Project Server 2003 for quite a while, so please forgive me
if my memory is bad. I believe what you are seeing is a minor bug in
Project Server 2003. To solve the problem, you might try opening the
enterprise project template for editing and then click Tools - Organizer -
Filters. In the list of Filters in the enterprise project template, delete
the Enterprise Resources filter. Close the Organizer dialog and then save
the edited enterprise project template over the old one. Just a thought.
Hope this helps.

Thanks! I did this for a lot of filters and it worked.
