Overwrite actual work in MS Pro 2007

Hello,

I knew how to overwrite actual work entered by resource in MS Pro 2003. How
can I do this in Ms Pro 2007?

We are using an external timesheet that automatically opens the project and
updates the assignments. Now I would like to push actual work to the server.
MS Pro tells me that actuals can only be updated by team members from PWA. If
I publish, I lose all my updates.

I'm the server admin: all permissions allowed.

Thanks

It sounds like your Project Server administrator has selected the "Restrict
updates to Project Web Access" option on the Task Settings and Display page
in PWA. This option prevents PM's from adjusting Actual Work entered by
resources, or from entering progress in the Microsoft Project 2007 project
plan (except for Milestones). Therefore, with this option selected, you
cannot enter actuals in the Microsoft Project 2007 project plan...period.
On the other hand, perhaps your Project Server administrator selected this
option in error. You should discuss this with him/her to resolve the
problem. Hope this helps.
