Dear Alexandre,
Your advice is really appreciated.

Pranab,
it may be easier to do in P3:
1. Define the WBS structure of your project in P3
2. Make sure you define the upper level to represent the whole project and one level for each outline level in MS Project
3. Apply the WBS to the activities in P3
4. Remove all the Topic activities in P3 (run a filter saying Activty type EQ Topic to display these activities only)
Hope this helps
Alexandre
Hello Aexandre,
How to do that can you please let me know in a step by step manner.

Pranab,
P3 regards MSP summary activities as "Topic activities".
Quote
It is recommended that you remove all Topic Activities by promoting ALL activities to Outline Level 1 and deleting redudant Parent Activities. You will need to check that all logic is at the lowest Outline Level before promoting activities

Dear Darren,
Thanks a lot, ya by data date i mean status date only.
Now i am having a new problem. i a changing a MSP schedule to a P3 one. in the MSP schedule there are summary activities , these are as well coming to the p3 schedule as activities with huge durations.
Please help.
regards
deb
Hi Deb,
By Data Date I’m assuming you mean Status Date (the last date the project was updated).
Project > Project Information
You can also set the Project Start / Finish Dates and Current Date this way.
To set the project baseline.
Tools > Tracking > Save Baseline
Regards,
Darren
