Project Portfolio Server 2007

First, if there is another place that this should be posted, please let me
know. The lack of documentation and help for this product is frustrating. I
am trying to add budget costs, and benefits estimates to a project. The tab
opens fine and I see the proper categories with $0 in each cell. The problem
is that the icon that is suppose to be clicked to change the value does not
appear. Can someone suggest a fix? This same icon does appear for the cost
tracking tab. I am wondering if it is realted to an activex control not being
installed or something. Please help if you can. Thank you

AFAIK, this is the correct forum for Portfolio Server.

A few thoughts :-

Are you opening the project in "Edit-Mode"?

Is the tab set as Read Only within a lifecycle step (sometimes implemented
when moved past the selected step)?

Paul,
Thank you for your suggestions. I was opening in edit-mode. Where would I
check for the read only setting for the tab? Thanks again for your help.

I don't have the software in front of me to check the exact path, but it's
under the settings for the lifecycle steps. You should see it reasonable
quickly if you have a dig.

I you setup the lifecycle steps then I guess you'd remember if you set this,
as it would be read/write by default.

I haven't done anything with the life cycle steps yet so I guess it's not
that. One other thing that I noticed is that all of my "drivers" do not
appear. My business drivers appear in the strategic tab but my architecture
drivers do not. Any further thoughts on the first issue and any thoughts on
this latest one would be appreciated. Also do you know of any availalbe
documentation? I have the builder and optimizer user guide. I also have the
deployment guide but that's the extent of what I have found. Thank you
