Yes, I've incorporated steps into the lower level activities and it automatically calculates my % complete. I'm wondering if there is way to automatically update the % complete on the corresponding upper level activity that the lower level activties were built from.

Thanks for the reply - I totally didn't explain that well. Of course you don't update the baseline. My reference to the baseline is the actual baseline activties in the "live" schedules which can not be change due to the interaction with our cost program. I can, however, make lower level WBS in the "live" schedule and roll that % up to the higher level activity. I'm just wondering if there is a way to automatically update the higher level activity based on the lower level activties as they are updated. Example, if the lower level activities total 45% complete for all, is there a way that the higher level activity will show 45% complete once the progress on the lower levels are done.

1st an original baseline should never be UPDATED. It should be copied then progress applied to the copied version.
So If I understand the question you want to update the baseline % complete ?
If you really want to do this and it is assigned as a baseline
go to project maintian baseline select update
check update existing activires already in the baseline
then select Update Options then check Steps
select OK
then select update
