My work items disappeared in TFS

We are using VS2008 with TFS for source control in my workplace and it works great, however today we ran into an issue when trying to link our pending changes to a work item. Typically when I want to link changes to a work item, I just go to the second tab from the top in the Pending Changes window, check the work item that matches the change and check in. Today, however, all of my work items have disappeared from the list. I can select a suitable query from the dropdown and it works great, so the projects are there.

I think the problem might have something to do with the My Work Items query related to the wrong TFS project (there are two on our TFS server), but I don't know how to fix it. The same problem occurred for most of my colleagues with some (possible) options.

So ... How do I restore "My Work Items" to the Pending Changes window?

EDIT: The problem still persists, but I worked around it by deleting the second project in Team Explorer. This is acceptable (for now) as this project is not currently active. I'm not happy that this is a good long-term solution, however ...

EDIT: I know that I may not have provided enough information for anyone to understand what the problem is, however, I will keep it in place in case anyone else had the same problem and it knows how to fix it: p

The first time I saw this I was associating a check with a work item and the requests were changed to a different Team Project. Can you verify that the requests are coming from the correct team project?



Another thing to check is your TFS server's event log for any oddities.
