FILE TASK DATES CHANGE UPON OPENING FILE
Hello All. Need a fix for Project file issue. and Individual emailed out a Project file to several of us. However, when I open the file some of the dates change from 2023 to 2025 and 2026. I asked...
Thanks for your reply John. No to both. Default Fiscal Yr start January. 2) New projects - New tasks = Manually Scheduled
willard800,
Are all the tasks in the project that was sent to you manually scheduled? What happens if you change them to auto-scheduled?
Try changing your options so that scheduling applies to the project in question instead of for "new projects".

- all tasks are Auto Scheduled. all are ASAP with one must start on. I changed the one constraint to ASAP, didn't change anything
"Schedule Option for this project" IS set to the File name (not New projects)- willard800,
For reference, what version of Project are you using? And may I assume the file is a single stand alone file and not part of a resource pool or part of a master project?
I'd ask you to send me the file but I'm guessing it will open fine for me, just like your colleagues.
What is the Project calendar (i.e. Standard or customized)?
John- ver 2019. yes, a stand alone file. Not sure if its part of a master file, but possible (its customer file).
unfortunately, I cannot send the file out.
Odd that the links are Not working properly. For instance, Task A show a start of '2026 but has a pred of task #14 (which ends may '23) with No Lag. I unlink the pred, Task A now shows start same as Project start. as it should. I re-link task 14 as a pred then Task A Start jumps to a 2026 date! tried this on a couple of tasks with same result.
