Hi Bhedase,

I did as you said, but did not work.....still moving.....

Any other solution please !

Well

Have you try to put a actual start date to your activity.

that will stop the Early Start date moving as the data date move :-)

you need to make sure you updated your schedule correctly

Dear Wong,

that is the point I can not Put Actual start for

Activities didnot Start YET.

Any Other Sugestion........

Hi Riad,

Generally, the Start Date of each Activity will keep on moving as the Data Date move especially when this activity is not yet started and the predecessor of it will keep pushing when there is no progress recorded and also due to driving relationship.

To avoid moving the Start Date, all you have to do is to adjust the LAG or change the Relationship Type. But in this case, you have to inform the Client and you should specify and justify all lags and relationship type.

Let me add to what Arnold just said…

The start of any unstarted activity with no outstanding predecessor commitments is supposed to move when the data date moves. If it does not then you are talking about MS Project. Unless you have a time machine and are planning to use it to move your work crews back in time, uncompleted work cannot exist in the past. Good luck!

Excellent Mr Winter. You just made my day.

Thanks to ENGR, winter & Engr,Puy

for their full explanation, Now I got the Point as they

explained in detail.

best regards

riad

That why I find very hard to explain the MSP project manager to have activity not started and planned in the past....
