Unable to get project task date to choose task entered date

[cshort]

Background: Project 2007, TFS, Visual Studio Team Services.

I am assuming an existing project and many of the defaults have been
previously set on this project. I am wishing to change one, when a new task
is entered the start date should be "today's date" and not the start of the
project.

I have discovered selecting Toos -> Options -> Schedule and have been able
to select "New Tasks" = "Start on Current Date". The issue is that this is
not taking, it continually defaults back to the start date of the project. I
need to have this overritten and I wish to schedule tasks by the date they
are entered.

HELP on how to override this.

Thank You
CHS

Hi CSH,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup

Having changed the setting, did you click on the button to "Set as default"?
