MS Project Professional 2007 resource loaded .mpp file published to EPM server but resources can't see their tasks in PWA

Question

Hi all:
I'm using MS Project Professional 2007 and I created the schedule as an .mpp file and assigned resources before I loaded the schedule to the EPM server. I created the resource names consistently with the names in the Enterprise resource pool and when I go into
tools / assign resources and filter on enterprise resources, I see the resources I assigned to my project associated with the correct tasks. The only problem is that when these resources go into PWA, they can't see their assigned tasks even after I save and
publish the project. If I create a new resource assignment while I am connected to the server, then the resource can see the new assignment, but I don't want to have to completely recreate the project assignments to remedy this situation. Can anyone tell me
another way to fix it so that resources begin to see their assignments in PWA and can enter their time there?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
David

Hey Dale.  Published = Yes on all tasks.  That's not it. 
But you definitely hit the mark on Assignment Owner.  That must be where the problem is.  When I read that I remembered that when I go into PWA all the project tasks show up under My Tasks, which seemed wrong to me and I asked the administrator
about that.  he told me it was because I was the project owner.  Now I know that was not a correct response on his part and I'll point it out to him. 
I did check the Resources and Assignment Owner was blank.  I tried to set it to be the Resource and it's a locked field.  I can't do it.  It doesn't surprise me that this field is locked because I suspect the administrator controls the
Enterprise Resource pool.  But what does it tell you that this field is blank.  Since I'm getting the tasks in my My Task list, I expected to find my name there.
Anything else I should check?
Anything I should tell the admin about how to make the Resources the owners of their own tasks.  I assume that should be the default.  That can be corrected just as easily in the Resource Sheet View as in the Resource Usage view, I assume
-- is that correct?
Thanks again for helping me figure out what the problem is.
