you SHOULD use a baseline, as it is where the software stores the initial data of your project; this way, you will have three different types of data: a) scheduled, b) baseline, c) actual; the software will compare actual/scheduled with the baseline.

Laurie,
you could do the following:
a) copy scheduled to a custom field,
b) create a formula that would say: "actual minus copy of scheduled"
c) display this formula in a custom field
Using baseline is easier, isnt it?

OK thanks Alexandre.
I understand that really you should use baselines but was hoping for a quick solution. But if it cant be it cant be done.
Cheers, Laurie
