% Complete and % Work Complete do not update with Actual Start change.
Changing the date in Actual Start does not update the values in % Complete and % Work Complete columns, they stay at 0. If the Actual Finish date has any date at all, the percentages go to 100%.
Is Project supposed to be automatically calculating those % complete columns or am I missing steps?

Simply entering an actual start date will not show a value in either Percent Complete field. You need to also enter a value in the Actual Duration or Actual Work field. However, entering a value in the Actual Duration or Actual Work field first, will cause Project to calculate a value for the Percent Complete fields.

John-project I added the Actual Work column, entered in a value and the % Complete columns updated accordingly - that was the step I was missing.
Thanks for the info, much appreciated.
