Problem to use Project 2003 with Project Server 2002

Does anyone know how to update the project server 2002
database in order to make it work with Project 2003?

When I try to save my project I get this error message:

You are attempting to save a project to a Microsoft Server
2002 database that has not been upgraded to contain the
additional fields required by the new feature i Project
Professional 2003. Until the database is upgraded, you
cannot save projects created in Project Professional 2003.

There is a documentation and scripts inside the project Server CD that
does the job.

No. On the Project Server 2003 CD. If you have autorun setup, select
Installation Guide and there is a section for Migrating From Earlier
Versions. If you don't have autorun on, go to the Docs folder on the
Project Server 2003 CD, select PJSVR.CHM, and then read the section
Migrating From Earlier Versions.

Actually, now that I reread your post I am not sure if you are trying to
upgrade the database? Are you trying to upgrade Project Server 2002 to
Project Server 2003 or are you trying to use Project Pro 2003 with Project
Server 2002? I am almost positive that you can't mix versions if that is
what you are trying to do. Either stay with Project Server and Project Pro
2002 or upgrade both to 2003.

It is in the Project Server 2003 CD under the path

E:\SUPPORT\DATABASE\UPG10DB.CMD

The documentation is under
\docs\PJSVR.CHM

And as a followup on the versions, in Project Server 2003 there is a Feature
option to allow Project Pro 2002 to save to Project Server 2003. My
instance of Project Server 2003 had that Denied as a default but I may have
told it to only allow 2003.

Question: this process seems to be for converting a 2002 DB into a 2003 DB.
What I want to do is MOVE my projects OUT of my 2002 DB and into my NEW 2003 DB.
Anyone know how to do that?
Thanks,
Eric
