MPP Resource Name Issue


Hi All,

I am using MS Project for entering workitems and import to the server. The resource names are in the form of ID's which will show the NAME corresponding to ID while assigning any work items in MPP template.

Is it able to extract the ID behind the user name for the future purpose or connecting to third party tools?

Also i have the problem with the resource name display in the Assigned To column in workitems which display the ID's instead of NAME corresponding to ID but if I logged as administrator it is showing as NAME. What could be the problem?

Any suggestion or solutions are welcome. It would be great if anyone help me out in this regard since it is URGENT.

Regards,

the second problem, "i have the problem with the resource name display in the Assigned To column in workitems which display the ID's instead of NAME corresponding to ID but if I logged as administrator it is showing as NAME. What could be the problem?" got solved since i used the beta version of TFS. In RTM, it i showing as NAMES.

but I am still have no idea about my first question i.e.

Is it able to extract the ID behind the user name for the future purpose or connecting to third party tools?
