Dear Planners,
In P3, if i want to copy the actual dates from an updated programme to a newly copied baseline programme of same project is by simply copy all the activiites from the updated programme and paste in a baseline programme and choose update activities with matching Id's.Then all the actual dates will be assigned automatically in the copied Baseline programme. I want to know is it possible to do like this in P6 or is there any new way to bring the actual dates from an updated programme to baseline programme for same project.
Here is the easiest way to do what you want to happen.
Add the Baseline Project to your current Project using the Maintain Baseline. On the same window click the update then chose the data you want to apply from Current Project to Baseline Project.
Hope this will help.
Regards,
Hi Gokulakrishnan,
This is the second time of writing this message. PP timed out on me and crashed!
I now understand what you want to do. You need to revise your current baseline to reflect only a few changes. I will warn however those before following my instructions below, you only do so with consent of your client and stakeholders. If you change the baseline without having gone through due process and change control, you are at risk of breeching your contractual agreement with your client.
If you have gone through formal change control and everyone is on board you need to take the following steps.
The planned start and finish dates may change if you have resources and or costs assigned to the activities.
Hope this helps.

Dear Simon,
I don't want to create a new baseline with the updated programme. I just want to import the Actual dates from the updated programme to the copied baseline programme. Because in the updated programme some links have been modified to reduce the negative float. But i want to know the actual status of the project from the baseline programme. For this purpose i need only the actual dates from the updated programme. I have tried the export and import options. If you want to do the samething in P3 just copy all the activities from the updated programme and paste it in the baseline programme. An option will appear to complete the task. In that option we have to select "Update activities with matching ID's". Then simply schedule it. All the acual dates from the updated programme will come to the baseline programme. (Dont forget to hava a copy of baseline programme in a seperate file). I want to know is there any option like this in P6 for actual dates only except Import & Export).

Gokulakrishnan.

Gokulakrishnan,
If I understand your query, you wish to update the baseline with the newly assigned progress. You will simply need to create a new baseline. This will include the latest update.
