how do i let users change dates on the web?

[Bill at HP]

I want to post the project to the web server. When I do I want the users to
be able to change the dates the task acually starts and stops. How can I do
this?

I assume you're talking about updating the plan with actuals when the users
do the work. That's what Project Web Access is for. IMO, you should never
let them update the *planned* start and finish directly - that's strictly
the province of the Project Manager.

Bill at HP --

You must add the Actual Start and Actual Finish fields to the list of
published fields in each project using Tools - Customize - Published Fields.
Be sure and select the "Let resource change field" option for both fields
and then click OK. You must then publish each project using Collaborate -
Publish - Republish Assignments. After doing this, your Project Server
administrator should add these two fields to the Timesheet view in PWA.
Lastly, you should teach your team members how to use these fields properly
while entering progress in their timesheet. Hope this helps.
