PRJ: Paste Linked Date Field Different from Source Date Field

Article ID: 171395

APPLIES TO

  • Microsoft Project 2000 Standard Edition
  • Microsoft Project 98 Standard Edition

SYMPTOMS

Paste linked date fields between tasks may not match even after you force a recalulation of the project.

CAUSE

By design, Microsoft Project does not recalculate linked date fields if a task relationship, such as a Finish to Start relationship is assigned to the project. However, if there is no task relationship assigned to the project, then Microsoft Project 98/2000 recalculates the date field to be equal to the source field. In contrast, in earlier versions of Microsoft Project the same date appears in both fields when you recalulate the project.
