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...
willard800,
Take a look at your option settings for Project. Do you perhaps have your option set to use a non-default fiscal year for all new projects (e.g. July instead of January)? Or, do you have your option set for all auto scheduled tasks to start on the current date for all new projects?

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".
John- 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
