Navigation to Project Center is not supported from Outlook 2007

[Guest]

Description:
When trying to navigate through Outlook to Project Center, it get loaded
with the list of projects, but when trying to navigate to another view in
Project Center, it shows only a "Loading grid..." message

Repro steps:
1. Open Outlook 2007
2. Right click the toolbar area and add the "Web" toolbar
3. Type in the Project Center URL. It should be something like
"http://<server_name>/pwa/projects.aspx"
4. The page should appear properly
5. Change the Project Center view by selecting another view name in the
combo box

Expected Results:
The Project Center view changed.
Instead of that we get a "Loading grid..." message

How often does this happen?
Always

Should this actually work? In other words, do you have documentation from
Microsoft that says it should?

The web browser built into Outlook is very feature-poor. It is not meant to
be a fully functional browser and many scripting and activex options won't
work. I wouldn't recommend it for any web browsing, personally.
