Modify Notification E-mail

[CQ]

All I want to do is take the existing e-mail notification
and remove the one line that says something like: To turn
off these notifications, please connect to.....

Where/How do I turn off that one line. I don't want to
build and customize a new e-mail when what I really need
is to comment that one out in the code and the world will
be a happy place again (at least for me).

Well, I tried to find this for you but couldn't.

Here is what I tried:

1) Went into the SvrDB.htm file found in the Help folder of the Microsoft
Project Server installation. I did a search through there to find "e-mail"
and looked through the database tables that came up. I didn't find anything
that affected the section of text that you are looking to change.
2) Did a search in the entire Microsoft Project Server folder for "e-mail"
and didn't really come up with anything.
3) Looked in IIS Virtual Root\Library\Constants but didn't find a string of
text that you are looking to change.
4) Looked in the IIS Virtual Root\Notifications folder but didn't find
anything in there.

My gut feeling is that this information is stored in Microsoft Project
Server\Bin\1033 (1033 is the US language ID) in one of the DLLs. Therefore,
I don't think you will be able to modify the text directly. You may want to
take a look in the Notifications folder and see if you can modify some of
the code there to get rid of the entire section of text and then replace
back the bits you want to include manually. In PWA --> Admin --> Customize
Project Server --> Notifications and Reminders has a section of text that is
automatically placed after the text you are trying to delete so you might be
able to use that to your advantage if you delete the previous section.

Good luck. And I would appreciate an email if you do figure it out.

CQ:

Almost every text string, that Project and Project Server displays, is
stored in the database for localization. On the project side, these can be
found in MSP_CONVERSIONS, on the web side these are stored in
MSP_WEB_CONVERSIONS. Be careful altering these strings, particularly the
email strings, because they may contain substitution characters that get
incorporated into the lines of executable code. With some experimenting, you
ought to be able to accomplish what you want by altering the string values
contained in MSP_WEB_CONVERSIONS.

Thanks Gary! I forgot to check the MSP_WEB_CONVERSIONS table. They are
indeed in there.

Anyone know how to change: here the lates changes line in
Notification e-mail? I searched all the database. And
didn't find any clue..

Thanks, I will let you know if I figure it out.
