status date

If I change the status date on the project information screen to reflect the
date when the project schedule is reviewed, would this have any negative
effects?

John,
It depends. The Status Date is used for earned value (EV) calculations
(i.e. BCWP, ACWP, BCWS, etc.). It is also used to update progress lines
(e.g. progress through [date]). If you don't use EV metrics or update
status through, the Status Date has little meaning.

Hope this helps.
