You probably need to make sure you are straightening the correct progress line. Do you get the Reschedule Progress Period Warning box appear? If you do, select the progress period in the top box and then click on ok. If you don't get the box, go to Tools - reschedule -Options and select the progress line you want to straighten in the box on the right hand side.
When I produce a progress report, I do an unscheduled one so we can see whats behind / ahead at a glance using the jagged line (we always keep the line jagged in the options on alll the other programmes). If i set the line as straight as suggested, I cant quickly see which items are behind or ahead.
At the moment with the problem i have, if I put 100% progress against a task, the jagged line should ping to the progress entry date, and leave the progressed item in the past as it is complete but its not, its staying behind the task.
Then when I have finished marking up progress and pdf's that unscheduled report, I do a rescheduled report so we can see where the completion date is pushed out / pulled back to. Noramlly, when i hit the rechedule button, the line usually goes straight automatically, anything that has been progressed <100%, it splits it, and pushes it out, and anything that has 100% progress on it, that bar stays where it is and the progress line goes straight.
Are we able to post screenshots on this forum? (Im not very good at describing things) :o

That should give you a straight line.
