Website Upgrade Incoming - we're working on a new look (and speed!) standby while we deliver the project

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.

Jorge,

This is a common misconception. You can’t create an independent schedule and then assign it as a baseline to another schedule. Even through the two schedules look identical on the outside to you, Primavera clearly sees them as different on the inside and has nothing to match up. The Activity IDs that you see are not the ones that Primavera actually uses to identify the activities.

The only way to make a baseline schedule is to create it using the Make Baseline feature. Good luck!

Are the activity ID’s the same? Did you put a check on the Primary baseline under the Project, Baselines window?

Best,

Jorge

I have created a new baseline before updating the current project. Then it worked. Is this correct or while doing trial and error, something happend?

Christian, I do not know what is patched. However, I have tried all options in View>Bar>Bar chart Options.

This is not the problem with Bar Formats. Because, when I tried to make the current as baseline, the dates and bar are appearing.

But when I try to attach other project as baseline to current, the dates/bar disappearing.
