How do I create an Enterprise Template that when I create a new plan from it,
sets the project start date to today's date - Just like when we create from
"Blank Project" template?

I notice that in the Administrative Plan Templates and the other defualt
ones MS provide with the product, that the start dates are fixed (probably
when the templates were created)

So how does the "Blank Project" template do it...?
Does it use a run once OnOpen macro or something?

Hi,

The only way to set a date is to have a macro. However, getting it to run
only once is the trick. But is it necessary? Most of the time, every
schedule I create is for a project that has already started, or will start
in the future. Today's date is rarely the project start date. Presumably
your use of Project is different and if you do want an automatic start date
you need to write a macro.
