Rename Column in PWA

C

CQ

I have Project Server 2003. I have a need to rename the column "Start" to
"Moving Start". I have done this in Professional with no problems. However,
PWA still shows "Start" and I need to change it to "Moving Start" as well.
If there isn't a way in PWA what table(s) hold this little naming nugget that
I could change?

You cannot rename standard fields in either Microsoft Project or in PWA.
What you did in the Microsoft Project client was to assign a Title or
"nickname" to the Start column, but its real name remains Start. Instead,
why don't you create a custom Date field for this purpose? Open the
Enterprise Global and then click Tools - Customize - Enterprise Fields.
Name the first available task Date field, such as Date1, to Moving Start.
In the field, enter the following formula:

[Start]

Save and close the Enterprise Global file, and then exit and relaunch
Microsoft Project. Your PM's will then need to exit and relaunch Microsoft
Project as well. They will need to open each project they manage, press the
F9 function key to calculate the new custom field, and then save and publish
each project. I realize it is more work, but that is the only way to
accomplish what you want to do. Hope this helps.
