RE: Microsft Project

Hi Mark

Thank you for your question

The easiest method is to simply choose a new start date by going to Project-Project information and altering the start date combo box.

If however your project has been baselined you may want to remove the baseline and then reset it afterwards if you do not want the new start date to cause variances in your project

Regards

Stephen

MS Project tip:

Keep constraining dates to a minimum

As far as possible avoid fixing the dates of your tasks. For example try to steer of clear dragging task bars in the Gantt chart to move them on the timeline or entering dates directly into the Start / Finish fields.

Date constraints such as these limit Microsoft Project's ability to automatically adjust your project whenever you add, remove or modify the duration of your tasks. Instead use the logic in your task dependencies that link your tasks to enable Project to calculate the start and finish dates for you.
