Unable to save new proposal - PS 2007 - Bug?

Owe Evans

Hi,
have encountered a problem with Proposal functionality.

Trying to save a new proposal (summary or work details type does not matter).

It works lika a charm when "Regional settings" at PWA site settings is set
to 'English - Us' but after changing this to 'Swedish' (or Spanish for that
matter) an exception is thrown: 'Unknown error'

I am curious to here if anyone have experienced the same problem in using
proposal and found a workaround? Or is there any other languge/culture
setting that should be set to be able to use another language than English
together with Proposals?

Thanks,
Owe

********************************
More info on the error and setup:

With Call stack enabled the full error message is:

The numeric part ('9,4') of '9,4em' cannot be parsed as a numeric part of a
Em unit. at System.Web.UI.WebControls.Unit..ctor(String value, CultureInfo
culture, UnitType defaultType)
at System.Web.UI.WebControls.Unit.Parse(String s, CultureInfo culture)
at
Microsoft.Office.Project.PWA.CommonControls.XmlGridColumn..ctor(SerializationInfo info, StreamingContext context)
at
Microsoft.Office.Project.PWA.CommonControls.XmlGridNumericColumn..ctor(SerializationInfo info, StreamingContext context)

If I look at the page's source I can read that some controls have the
property "style="width:9.4em" which leads me to think this there might be an
problem with using Proposals in other culture settings than English-US. (In
Swedish decimal punctation is , (comma).

To reproduce the behaviour - go to PWA site setting - choose Regional
settings and select another culture than English.

I have checked server Regional settings. Problem occures with both English
or Swedish regional settings. Same case when switching between English and
Swedish as input language.
I have also managed to reproduce this behaviour on another Project Server
installation.

Owe,

Although I have not seen this before, I would suggest you reinstall the
language packs before trying to troubleshoot any futher.

Thanks,

Scott/ Owe,

I have seen this issue before, Looks like .NET2.0 security upadate issue on
web server. In my enviornment I figured it out by logging into the PWA by
service account (Account you used for Project server 2007 installation), once
you login to PWA by service account, browse the Proposal page. You can logoff
now.
Any user can access Proposal page & create a new proposal.

Hope this helps..
