how to stop displaying field in project professional 2007 save dia

[Sam]

I made custom field named "Project Schedule" in server settings -- >
Enterprise custom field definition :

the formula in custom field is " IIf(len(Cstr([Baseline Finish]))<3,"No
baseline",
IIf((ProjDateDiff([Baseline Finish],[Finish],[Project
Calendar])/480)/([Baseline Duration]/480)>=0.2,"Late by more than 20% of the
schedule",
IIf((ProjDateDiff([Baseline Finish],[Finish],[Project
Calendar])/480)/([Baseline Duration]/480)>=0.05,"Late","On schedule")))

In which I made a Project Schedule field and apply formula and graphical
indicators.

But this field need to only appear when I make a view.

But when I try to save a project from professional it is also required like
other fields in the save dialog box.
And not need to appear there in the project save dialog box.

There is no way to hide a custom enterprise Project field in the Project
Information dialog in Microsoft Project Professional. Therefore, tell your
PMs to ignore it since it contains a calculated value. Hope this helps.

Actually when i try to save the project and "Save to Project Server" dialog
box appear . In which with other fields (Formula fields) are also appearing
and showing " #Error " in value column.

Is it error or we need to ignore this and continue to save a project ?

With a calculated field, the first time you save the project, the PM usually
sees the #Error value in each calculated field. This is normal. As the PM
starts to enter tasks, set dependencies, etc., the system recalculates the
project and calculates the values in each calculated field. If the PM were
to click Project - Project Information, he/she would notice that the #Error
values have disappeared and been replaced with actual values (assuming, of
course, that you wrote the formulas correctly). So, what you are seeing is
normal behavior. Hope this helps.
