    San, You always have baseline

    San,

    You always have baseline dates, even when no baseline is assigned.  When no baseline is assigned, your current Planned Dates are displayed as the baseline dates.  This is probably why you think that they have ‘changed.’  The baseline dates did not change, the baseline probably did not transfer or it is no longer assigned.  Good luck!

    You are right SM, baseline

    You are right SM, baseline doesn't get exported.

    Ronald,

    Even when you assign a baseline and export it to .XER file, when you import and then open , you could see that baseline column shows the dates of early start and early finish and not the actual baseline dates, which implies that the baseline is not getting exported into the .XER file.

    So when you make a schedule update and preserve it in .XER file, the baseline doesn't follow that file.So you have to save the original baseline and re assign it to the schedule update each time you update the schedule.

    Please let me know if there is a better option
