We have recently installed Project Server 2010 in our organization. An existing MS Access 2007 application launches Microsoft Project Professional 2010 client. Behind the scenes it will check-out the project for the user and loads it into the client. Once the user makes changes, he will obviously need to publish and check-in. To avoid the user going to different tabs (most of these users are not computer savvy), I had provided them with a custom group in the default tab (Tasks) that has 2 buttons. I had labelled them as "Step1) Publish" & "Step2) Check-in" for ease of their understanding and use. I had used the customization option to choose these 2 button from "All commands" drop-down. Even though the project is checked out, the "Check-in" button always remains disabled (Publish button works just fine). Looks like the only way a user can check-in the project is by closing the professional client (at which point he will be prompted to check-in).
I would appreciate if someone can tell me how to enable the Check-in button when the user is working on a checked out project in Project Client Professional 2010.
Thanks
