Lon,
Thanks for the help.
I'm not sure why this worked but it did. Let me give you some background in
case it helps you understand what happened.
I Installed a new downloaded copy of Office Pro 07 w/BCM. I never did any
changes to the fields, or anything else for that matter. When I followed your
instructions there were no user defined fields (as I expected since I had not
changed anything from the new installation at that point). I exited out of
that window & it asked if I wanted to save any changes. I did, even though I
had not made any and the user defined fields was blank. Then I went back to
the create project tasks window & tried it again. It now works fine, go
figure.
BTW, when is the 07 BCM for Dummies book out. Looks like I may need it to
get this thing working.
Thanks again,
Don
