Based on our methodology, we create a WBS with a CSV-file and convert this
within MsProject Professional (on a local pc) to an .mpp file.

Then we bring this file to the project server disk and import it into the
Project Server. Although a large number of "published fields read/write"
have been defined as default (and also defined in the global template), the
"published fields" remains empty.
We have to select them and set the option wether the user may change them.
This is a tedious job, as ALL our projects go through the stage of
"tailored" methodology WBS and the Programme Office loads them into the
server.

The local MsProject Professional does not reside on the server and cannot
not have specific defined Enterprise fields.

How can we import an .mpp with the correct "published fields".

Willy V
