    Dear Kumar,

    You can use a dummy activity and call it "start of remaining activities" and then link as usual from this point on.

    Dear Kumar,

    If you are going to make a revision you can revise all relations and use Retained-Logic (Schedule Options) in order to show activities started but will continue later more realistic. On the other hand the most annoying part will be many started activities which will be and stacked up to the data date that will give you a resource histogram with mountain peaks after data date for 3-4 weeks (!). You can suspend the works which you will not be working until the planned date you will assign resources on site (From Dates Window in P3). This is a CLIENT-CONTRACTOR issue but try not the change the durations. Be careful when changing relations & Suspends that will change the critical path and check the situation in a detailed way in every progress update.

    Regards,

    Safak
