You can always open up an old plan and then use "save as" and give it a new
name. Then use Project/project Information/Start date and change this to the
new start date. There may be some additional work such as zeroing out actual
work, and removing resources

Hi Ronan,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup

You could also use the Adjust_Dates macro on the Analysis toolbar.

FAQs, companion products and other useful Project information can be seen at
this web address: http://project.mvps.org/faqs.htm

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

Thanks for replies . Actual work has been brought back to zero and
Project/project Information/Start date have been changed . Still dates
activities dates remain unchanged !

Hi,

As soon as actual work has been put to zero, constraints take over!
Either select all tasks, click the task information icon, advanced, set teh
constraint to as soon as possible or
Show the analysis toolbar, run adjust dates
OR in earlier versions (<2002) tools, macro, macros, adjust_dates, run.

Thanks. I tried the first. most task moved with preserved duration except a
few for which duration was brought back to zero.

In Project 2003 File menu select New. ON the New File task pane, select
"From Existing Project" and select the one you wish to copy. A new file
will be created based on the content of the old one. Remove actuals and
change start date
