How can I set the start date?

[David Thielen]

Suddenly my first task (all other tasks are sub-tasks under it) won't
let me set the start date. Any idea why that is disabled and how I get
it enabled?

thanks - dave

The dates for the summary task are derived from the sub-tasks.
It starts as soon as the earliest subtask and ends at the end of the latest
subtask.

I tried that I went to the first task in my file and it let me change
it. But it then said "If you want the project to begin on this date,
change the project start date."

I clicked OK and it changed that one date - but nothing else changed.

Ok, got this one - found the project start dialog, changed that, then
set the first task to match.
