Reoccuring project, I need an easy way to change dates

[milton]

I have reoccuring project, that I'm trying to tighten its duration. I use
Projects to track actual work, and then a month later we do the same project
again.
How can I update the Start Date and have ALL the remaining tasks move
forward in time to the current date?

I'm sure I need to set up the project again using a new ........ ?

Hi Milton,

I'm not sure I follow exactly, so I'll give you a couple of choices.

If you need to take tasks that are incomplete after you track actuals and
move all incomplete tasks to a new start date use Tools > Tracking > Update
Project, Reschedule incomplete work to start after.... option.

If you wish to re-use the project file as a template for a new project,
including all tasks that you have tracked, save the file as a template.
(File > Save As, and select the template file type. A dialog box will
appear asking what information you wish to omit from the file. Then you
will create a new file based upon the template (File > New and select
Templates on my computer).

To move all tasks to the new start date choose Project > Project Information
and set a new start date.
OR
If you have constraints on tasks in the project, use the Adjust Dates button
on the Analysis toolbar.

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