= SUMMARY =

Under certain conditions, it may be impossible to change the start date of a task by using the mouse to drag the task or by entering a new start date with the keyboard. Usually, you can move the task with the mouse or change the date in the Task Form; however, when an actual start date has been applied, then when OK is chosen, the date and Gantt bar will change back to their original settings.

= MORE INFORMATION =

Actual start dates are set for a task most commonly as a result of showing progress on the task. Even if progress has been reset to 0 (zero) percent, an actual start date remains. Select the task, then choose Actual in the Dates box on the Task Form and delete the start date.
