Error message when you create timesheet periods in Project Server 2007: "DataSource property must be set to DataSet, DataTable or XmlGridBinding"
When you try to create timesheet periods in Microsoft Office
Project Server 2007, you may receive the following error message:
DataSource property must be set to DataSet, DataTable or
XmlGridBinding
When you try to create timesheet periods in Microsoft Office Server 2010, you may receive the following error message:
"An unexpected error has occurred."
This issue occurs if the name of the computer on which
Project Server 2007 is installed contains an underscore character (_).
To resolve this issue, rename the computer so that the
computer name does not contain the underscore character.
For a new
server, follow these steps:
- Click Start, click Run,
type sysdm.cpl, and
then click OK.
- In the System Properties dialog box, click
the Computer Name tab, and then click Change.
- In the Computer Name Changes dialog box, in the Computer name box, type a new computer name that does not contain an underscore character and then click OK.
For an existing server on which several services depend, follow these steps:
- Create an alias (CNAME) that does not contain an underscore
character in the Domain Name System (DNS) server. To do this, follow these
steps:
- Click Start, point to
Administrative Tools, and then click DNS.
- Expand
ServerName, and then expand
Forward Lookup Zones.
- Right-click the default zone, and then click
New Alias (CNAME).
- In the Alias name (uses parent domain if left
blank) box, type an alias that does not contain an underscore
character.
- In the Fully Qualified domain name (FQDN) for
the host box, type a suitable name.
- Click OK.
- In SharePoint Central Administration, change the alternate
access mapping to the new alias. To do this, follow these steps:
- Click Start, point to
Administrative Tools, and then click SharePoint 3.0
Central Administration.
- On the Central Administration page, click
Operations.
- Under Global Configuration, click
Alternate Access Mapping.
- On the Alternate Access Mappings page,
click the internal URL where the Project Web Access (PWA) site is provisioned
for the default zone.
- In the URL protocol, host and port
box, change the URL to the name that you entered in step 1.e.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Office Project Server 2007

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
