Automatic changing of the Data Date in PM6

Hello all!

So I'm having an 'issue' that I have never seen before. I recently imported a project over from MS Project into PM6 (something I've done on several occasions).

But this time, it carried with it a setting that seems to automatically be making the DATA DATE the CURRENT DATE.

I've never used, needed, or even seen this before, so I'm not sure where this setting resides in PM6 so that I can TURN IT OFF!

Can anyone direct me to the right menu so that I can shut that down?

Thanks in Advance,

Eric

    Eric, Under Tools/ Schedule,

    Eric,

    Under Tools/ Schedule, there is a check box - 'Set Data Date and Planned Start Date to Project Forecast Start Date during Scheduling'. Make sure that it is unchecked. I can only think of this option.

    Let me know if it works.

    Thanks,

    Rajesh

    Hi Eric, I'm also

    Hi Eric,

     

    I'm also encountering your problem which is really frustrating coz after i plotted dates to all activities and press F9 they get back to their previous dates or to the data date. I checked out the the check box mentioned by Rajesh but same as you, the check box is currently unchecked and is uncheckable. 

    I aslo imported this file from MS project. Could this be something with the MS project?
