Hi,
I’m new in Primavera and maybe my question is very simple and basic.
I didn’t find how to change the starting date of a project. I made a program for a project (WBS, dates, duration, resources, etc.) but yesterday the project manager told me that the project was delayed one month.
I guess I can move the whole activities in one step (like in MS Project), maybe using Global Change? What happend with the resources?
Can you help me?
Many thanks in Advance.

    Thank you Paul.
    I did what you suggested, but only the reference start date line was moved and the other details remained as before.
    I don’t want to keep the original programme as reference (with a month of delay), the idea is to have a new programme that will start with a month of difference from the original plan.
    Maybe I have to do another step.
    If you have more suggestions I’ll be glad to try them.

    If I understood you correctly what you want is to have a new schedule that will show a delay of a month, if this is the case you should backup your original schedule (for reference) then adjust the current schedule start date to your new start date then change your data date equal to your new start date and reschedule it... for adjusting the reference start date line kindly refer to mr. Paul’s suggestion...
