administrator of that server.in my tasks tab few of my projects showing below
message. please suggest me a solution.


Project Center cannot access the project(s) you are trying to view. It is
most likely that you either don't have permissions to view the project,
another user has deleted this project(s) before you were able to view it or
that another user is in the process of publishing the project

Hello Ramesh,
'Is this the first time you are getting the errors in your system?

I have observed many reasons for Project center loading issues:
1. Issues with permission
- resoultion: Try to change the permissions & save once.
2. Issues with Not properly published projects
- Resolution: Check the queue & see if there are issue with publish project
3. Issues with SQL timeout
Resolution: The problem may be the result of a SQL timeout. If this is the
case, you can observe the SQL server working for a while by running a trace
before the events that cause the timeout error. You can also detect the SQL
timeout in the ULS logs. To resolve the problem make sure that you rebuild
the database indexes and update database statistics as part of your SQL
maintenance plan for your Project Server databases

4. Issue with ODBC connection to project server via project professional.
Resolution: If somebody tries to connect to Project server via Project pro
2007 ODBC connection, It creates 2 tables in & few views in publsihed
database. Comapre the database with default database. if you see extra
tables/views, You might need to delete that.

Hope this helps.

Ramesh -

It might be the naming convention of the projects themselves if its specific
to certain project plans especially when attempting to open from Project
Center into the Project client. Project Server does not support special
characters, more than one space between words, etc. See below for some
special characters that cause issues.

/ (slash mark)
" (straight quotation mark)
; (semicolon)
: (colon)
< > (angle brackets)
| (vertical bar)
[ ] (brackets)
, (comma)
.. (period)
' (single straight quotation mark)
? (question mark)
~ (tilde)
` (grave accent)
! (exclamation point)
$ (dollar sign)
% (percent sign)
^ (caret)
& (ampersand)
* (asterisk)
( ) (parentheses)
- (en dash)
+ (plus sign)
= (equal sign)
{ } (braces)
\ (backslash)

This is also the default error message for a view that returns zero projects.
If you applied filters to any of your views, you may want to check into that.
