displaying multiple baselines

[doug malmgren]

i have saved multiple baselines in a project plan that includes many sub
projects. however, when i want to track project variances through project, i
always seem to have to do that against the original baseline that was saved.
this goes for the gantt chart in the tracking view, as well. is there a way
to use the most recent baseline when looking at the gantt chart? i'd like a
graphical representation of tasks that have moved start/finish dates.

Go to the format menu / barstyles and create barstyles for whichever other
baselines you want.
You can use the existing baseline barstyle as an example.

If you want to note variances between baseline and actual you can use the
technique I describe here:
