Project won't publish

J

Jesse

I have imported ~50 projects but have two that will not publish.

They show up in Project Center just fine and I can drill down.
However, no work shows up in any assignment view even after I republish and
overwrite work.

I've noticed also that I don't get the information window that says the
publish operation was successful for the republish. I do get it for
"publish new and changed...", but not for republish. Sometimes the
republish doesn't even do anything. Other times it goes through with saving
the project, but never does it successfully republish.

There are no spooler errors and I have deleted/reimported the project
several times, still no luck.

Any ideas?

Jesse:

Are you seeing corresponding application errors in the event log? These
would be helpful to know. Any chance the troublesome projects have tasks
with notes that contain special characters? This could cause the symptoms
you describe.

We had a similar situation. We saved the project to a
local hard drive, deleted it from the server using the
Database cleanup tool and then reimported and they worked
fine. It may have been cause by a network error during
the time of publishing.

I've checked the notes and only had one suspect character "~". All the
other non-letter characters are no different than any other project I have
(e.g., ()#$%, etc.).
The event viewer does have some errors but they do not appear to be at the
same time as my republish attempts.
Just in case I've included them:

Error:

Thank you for looking into this,

I've tried what you suggest several times. During some of these tries I
have been able to publish other projects no problem, but not these two!

Gary you are the man!
Thanks to your suggestion about the characters, I did some more digging.
First, I removed all notes - it republished successfully!
Then, I started pasting them back in. It stopped republishing after the
first paste (take that Murphy!). After deleting all non-text characters, it
still would not republish (Murphy laughs. I'm sorry Murphy.)
Finally, I pasted the note into Word and turned on the paragraph markers.
Aha - a manual line break was the culprit.

Thanks again,
Jesse
