Hi, this is Nikhil.

You have made a user baseline. You must have selected current project as project baseline in Assign Baseline dialouge box.

You should go to Bars in gantt chart . There you mark the check-box of primary baseline bar & in timescale column next to bar column you select primary baseline.



Hope this should help.



If not, pls send me screenshots of how you are maintaining & assigning baselines to my mailid.

Hi.

And be sure that you show the correct bar in Gantt chart.

Sometime we assign baseline to project-baseline but show out Primary-baseline in Gantt chart.



Thanks

Donovan,



If you chose a current project as a baseline then your baseline bars will move when you change the logic. You have to save your current project as new file and assigned that as a primary baseline. Any changes to your current project will not affect your primary baseline.



To save current project as baseline:

1)     Select Project -> Maintain baseline

2)     Click Add and Tick “Save a copy of current project as a new Baseline” and click Ok

3)     Select Project -> Assign baseline

4)     On User Baseline under Primary -> Select the new save baseline from the dropdown box and not the current Project.

You should have a fixed primary baseline.



Hope this help,

Hi Rodel,

When I created the baseline, i chose project, maintain baseline,selected the current project i was in,clicked add.



now when I open maintain diologue box it shows the project name and baseline name,

under basline name- it shows the baseline

in baseline type - it shows "none"

data date -24 sep 07

in last update date- it shows 9 Oct 07

now I dont if 9 oct07 should be there,maybe i did something to cause it to go to 9 oct 07 i have updated my schedule on 5 oct 07, and now on 12 oct07.

what have done wrong or did I not do



Regards

Donovan,



Are you using Assigned Baseline or a current project as a baseline?
