Thanks, specs are never perfect. They generally say they want early dates and early finish. But what they really would want is the start (which includes the early dates unless actual) and the late dates. Am I not correct? I forget where I got the below but I do not like "the Remaining Start date" would that be the "early start date PLUS any pushing from logic or data date line?
Start = the current start date = the Remaining Start date until started then = Actual Start date.
Finish = the current finish date = Planned Finish date until started then = Remaining Finish date while in progress then = Actual Finish date when completed.

The "Start" and "Finish" felds in P6 are calculated based on the activity's status (Complete, in-progress etc). They are good catch-all fields to display start and finish dates.

If an activity is 100%, the early start is pushed by the data date - that can only confuse people, I do not know when you would ever want that.
