Thanks for your response, I've opened up the november programme seperately to see if it was an early/late start/finish but it didn't correspond with any date held in the november update. It did however match the dates from the October update so I can't grasp why when used as a baseline the november is retaining details from the October update instead.
I've raised it with our Primavera support folk to see if they can assist.
Have you tried to open all the dates as column for Nov plan before you save it as baseline? Maybe you could open plan start, plan finish to see if they match with current start and current finish. I remember that baseline start and baseline finish reflect plan dates of Baseline schedule, not current dates as we all think.
Thanks,

Thanks for your continued responses debating the part of the problem I don't have. It all depends on your definition of your wording import.
in any case the baselines are in place and the dates don't match the same plan when opened seperately. So I'll appreciate your experience and knowledge on this part of the issue.

I'm using the convert other project to be this projects baseline option which essentially imports another project from the EPS and adds it as a baseline.

I do not know what you mean when you say that you imported it using maintain. There is no option under file import for maintain. If you are just saying that you selected Project Maintain Baselines then I understand that. But there is no importing function here because the file has already been imported into the p6 database you are simply linking to it to use it a reference.

Hi there, yes when I've imported it using maintain I then assign it to the baseline project and use BL start and BL finish to reference the dates from the november version. however once the problem appeared I tried assigning it to the BL1 user programme instead with the same results.
thanks

I assume that you also assigned the baseline after maintaining it.
In the November update activity 1000 had a forecasted start date of 12-15-15 and a forecasted finish date of 31-12-15
In the Decmber update activity 1000 had an actual start of date of 12-12-15 and a forecasted finish date of 4-1-16
it appears that when you use the December update you ar enot referencing the November update beasuse it is using the currect schedule as the baseline.
also in the December update when you select assign baseline are you selecting the November update in the Project Baseline as well as the User Baselines Primary ?

it really does not import it the schedule is already in the database. Import is only used when the schedule is not in the database.
