Change Elapsed Time/Duration

[Nils]

Hello,

I have a company project template which I need to amend, Iv managed to
change the Project Start date but need to also reset the duration of the
project ie the elapsed duration field. Every time I try using the task info
box the fields are greyed out ?? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Nils

P.S. Im new to using project so please excuse my question if its an easy
issue to resolve.

Hi Nils,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup

The Duration of any project is calculated by the program based on its
network structure.

You might like to have a look at my series on Microsoft Project in the
TechTrax ezine, particularly #1 introduction - which also tells you about
network analysis on which Project is based - at this site:

(Perhaps you'd care to rate the article before leaving the site,
Thanks.)

FAQs, companion products and other useful Project information can be seen at

Hope this helps - please let us know how you get on

Hi,

Thanks for your response, Iv tried to adjust the date using the analysis
toolbar but that does not help, how do I go about taking the date constraints
off all the task on the plan ???

Thanks
