1. Log into Project Web Access with administrator permissions.
2. Click Admin > Manage Enterprise Features.

Resolution for SQL Server DBA’s (Project Server 2002 or 2003)
Projects can occasionally become stuck in a checked out state, but they do not show up in the data grid using either set of above steps. In this case, a SQL Server DBA must perform the following steps to check in the project:
1. Launch the Microsoft SQL Server Enterprise Manager.
2. Select and open the Project Server database.
3. Select the MSP_PROJECTS table and open it.
4. Locate the checked out project.
5. Set the value in the PROJ_CHECKEDOUT field to 0 (zero) for the project.
Note: For a resource that is stuck in a checked out state, open the MSP_RESOURCES table and set the RES_CHECKEDOUT field value to 0 for the checked-out resource.
