I’m not sure in MSP 2010 if the location of Progress Line is still under Tools-> Tacking-> Progress Line. If you status your Program and under Project Information Status date is define you can select from Progress Line option to display Progress Line using Status date or Current date.
Note: Finish date will be the same unless you manually extend it.
If you don’t want to split in-progress task there is an option not to split in-progress task but it will not move to datadate. (Tools-> Options-> Schedule tab. Remove tick from Split in-progress task)
yes, you r true, tje reason is the activity has delay
but in the real world that activity is ongoing and in action, but with spliting, it seems that activity stops for a period of time and then start again.

Other reason why it split is the Activity delayed or % complete is less than datadate.
Ex: Act1 = 5day, start = 21-Jul-09 and have % Progress of 20%. If you re-schedule your Project with Datadate = 26-Jul-10 then it will split because 20% = 1 day = 22-Jul-10 and remaining = 4 which is starting at 26-July-10.
That is an example of out of sequence activity. It means that the predecessor not yet complete or not yet started and succeeding activity is already progress. Change the logic if you want it not to split the activity.

Of course it will change as the duration is change but you can edit and enter the % complete again to the correct percentage.

Kaveh,
I already warned you that it will not move to datadate. You can use Progress line to indicate that it is delayed. (Zigzag line)
