Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

I have recently copied a project in order to keep progress record.
I have found that the completion date of the copy is later than the original. (The original was scheduled prior to copying)
Does any one know why this has happened and how to resolve it?
Thanks
Andy

Hi Andrew.
If I’ve got you right - you are saving baseline prior to progress update. I know that P5 doesn’t preserve the Planned Star/Finish for "in progress" activities after baselining. The workaround is simple - don’t forget to run global change prior to copying the baseline:

IF Activity Status=In progress
THEN Planned Start = Start
AND Planned Finish = Finish

Hope this will help you.
Best Regards,
Andrew
