Hello Mike T - Many thanks for getting back to me. Very much appreciated. Your reply was/is very helpful, in short "do not worry" about it - LOL... Your coaching on the inability to merge new data into an original baseline is most helpful. That is essentially why I asked. I had (have a project) that was detailed with South Wing and North/East Wing contract schedule/dates.. Then several updates into the project, the team seperated out the North Wing and East Wing and the sch shows the East Bldg occuring "about" 6 weeks past the original (North/East) dates (manually comparing major activities). Knowing that the baseline is saved "embedded" regardless of WBS or UTID or Task Name tells me that the manual comparison I have done is the best mechanism to watch schedule 'movement' vs original from this point forward.

Hi Mike
When Asta creates a new baseline it simply freezes the target programme into a new file to undershadow any revisions in the original.
It is ideal for comparing As built with As planned.
You can revise the baseline file but it may not be possible to merge new data later on.
You can safely forget about UTID and all the rest because Asta software takes care of all that automatically.
You have probably realised by now that WBS system will write itself and your UTID can be changed at any time.
Welcome to the world of planning as it should be.
Best regards Mike Testro
