What is the best way to set a retrospective start date?

RE: Working / non-working times & retrospective start dates

Hi David

Thanks for your questions:

As well as setting working and non working times for the standard calendar you can do the same for resources. On the resource sheet double click a resource and on the working times tab set the schedule you require.

To change the start date before progress is recorded go to the view menu choose toolbars and select Analysis. From the toolbar that appears click on adjust dates. You can now set a new start date and Project will move your tasks keeping their respective relationships intact.

Hope this is helpful - let us know if you have any questions. Kind regards, Andrew

MS Project tip:

Link tasks using predecessor column - project

a. First, note ID number of the task you want to link to (predecessor). Then, in the predecessor column of the task you want to link to (successor), type the predecessor task's ID number.
b. The link will be a Finish to Start (the default type).
c. Or you can add in a code for a different relationship type
i. SS = Start to Start
ii. FF = Finish to Finish
iii. SF = Start to Finish
d. You don't have to type the task ID numbers in any specific order, but you must separate multiple tasks with commas.
