Problem copying a project

I have recently copied a project in order to keep progress record.
I have found that the completion date of the copy is later than the original. (The original was scheduled prior to copying)
Does any one know why this has happened and how to resolve it?
Thanks
Andy

    Hi Andrew.
    If I’ve got you right - you are saving baseline prior to progress update. I know that P5 doesn’t preserve the Planned Star/Finish for "in progress" activities after baselining. The workaround is simple - don’t forget to run global change prior to copying the baseline:

    IF Activity Status=In progress
    THEN Planned Start = Start
    AND Planned Finish = Finish

    Hope this will help you.
    Best Regards,
    Andrew
