Numbers in column no longer appear after upgrade to 2010

[cocopud]

We were using project 2003 and I was upgraded to 2010. When I open a a schedule that used to have data that was summed in a number column, the data is no longer there. If I try to enter in data to see if it would still sum I get the following message:

There is no code mask defined for Number8
On the Project Tab, click Custom Fields. In the Type list, Click Outline Code and then Click Define Outline Code.

When I try to do this I cannot find Define Outline Code anywhere.

How can I get my columns to keep the numbers that are already in there when I open up a file in 2010?

Hmmm. Something is amiss. Code masks are used for Outline fields, not regular number fields.

The define Outline Code is the "code mask" option at the top of the "Edit lookup table" dialog. Is there someone in your organization who still has Project 2003 and can confirm whether outline code field or a number field was used?
