Ok I will have to read up on that, I see a lot of forums refer to a paper "Much ado about dates" relating to how dates affect various elements of P6 and hopefully this has info. Found the link below if it helps you in any way http://www.ronwinterconsulting.com/Understanding_P6_Dates.pdf
It is worth remembering the Planned Dates also determine where your Planned Value (BCWS) will profile to, which I have learnt to my cost over the 9 years working with Primavera!

I displayed the planned columns, exported to excel and copied the start/finish dates over the planned and imported it back into P6. Now the baseline bars match the current bars just like I needed.
I understand that you selected The Primary Baseline Under the Name Column but the corresponding Bar on the timescale column was shown as Plan Bar.[[wysiwyg_imageupload:888:]]

Hi
I am assuming you are baseling where you are now and so the baseline is to equal current?
Have you reviewed your 'planned dates' as if they do not match the start/finish dates at the time you baseline you will get a differance.
Add Planned Start and Planned Finish columns to your gantt chart and compare.

Member for

Just checked and the bars selected are Primary Baseline and Baseline Milestones.

Adam,
On the Bars Window, make sure the timescale selected is Project Baseline Bar or Primary Baseline Bar instead of Plan Bar.
Hope this will help.
