Okay, no project server, but what service pack and what field names are
rejected? For field names, letters numbers and spaces are safe.

I am only using MS Project 2007. No project server.
But are you saying that Project is trying to stop me from doing something
that could be bad if I was to import to Project server?
Are there chars, spaces, numbers that you should not use when creating
field names?
I could not find a list.
thanks

What's the name of the field? I wouldn't be surprised if there were
problems importing data into Enterprise custom fields from Project
Server.

Hello,
I am importing an excel file into a project template.
In the template I have created a number of custom fields.
When importing I get to the screen where you pick the to and from
fields.
And I pick a custom project field as the "to".
Sometimes I get the error:
the field <my field> does not exist
which seems so strang. since I picked it in the dropdown

anyone have experience with this?
thanks
