Change of value automatically

I created a Start "for Estimated Start" and Actual Start, when I put a date
in one it populated the same date in the other. I want to be able to track
the estimated Start and the Actual Start date seperatley.

Any suggestion?

Thanks,

Hi Sal,

I think what you are searching for is the Baseline Start for your
"estimated start". The Baseline fields (Start, Finish, Duration, Work,
Cost) are populated when you save a baseline.

For additional details see:
http://project.mvps.org/mike's_tutorials.htm

particularly Parts 25 & 26.

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

Sal --

To capture your Estimated Start date, you must baseline your project before
you begin entering actuals into the plan. To baseline your project, click
Tools - Tracking - Save Baseline and then click OK. You can see the
original Estimated Start date in the Variance table by applying any task
View (such as the Gantt Chart view) and then clicking View - Table -
Variance. Hope this helps.
