Background Information
This problem occurs when the Project Server Administrator applies or copies the Gantt Chart view or any other non-enterprise view after checking out the Enterprise Global for editing. By doing this, the Gantt Chart view and the task Entry table are copied into the Enterprise Global. Because the Gantt Chart view and task Entry table are local objects that are found in each user's Global.mpt file, they should not appear in the Enterprise Global because it is reserved for enterprise objects only. Once local objects such as the Gantt Chart view are accidentally copied into the Enterprise Global, they will cause error messages every time a project manager opens a project from Project Server.
Warning: The Project Server administrator must be careful when checking out the Enterprise Global to make sure that only enterprise objects are present in the Enterprise Global, including Views, Tables, Filters, Groups, Reports, etc.
