Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

I am aware of the need to change the planned start and planned finish of a baseline programme before attaching it to the programme that I am usuing to demonstrate a delay.

However in certain instances the planned dates are not being changed. ie an activity in progress with and actual start of the 30 May 2018 and a finish of the 3 Dec 2018 after running the global change to set the planned dates gives a planned start of the 30 May 2018 but a finish of the 30 Nov 2018 and not the 3 Dec 2018.

I assume that the global change is:

Condition 1 activity complete. planned start=actual start planned finish=actual finish

Condtion 2 activity in progress. planned start=actual start planned finish=finish

Is this correct?

You are aware that when comparing a programme with an attached baseline it is comparing the planned dates of the baseline?

how come you are mixing planned start date with finish dates  ?

actual start = planned start

actual finish = planned finish
