SUMMARY

Task start and finish dates may change when you paste tasks from an old Microsoft Team Manager team file into another team file.

MORE INFORMATION

In Microsoft Team Manager, start and finish dates are calculated fields. These dates are based on the start date of the team file and the leveling process that Microsoft Team Manager uses. In the leveling process, tasks are rescheduled in an attempt to rectify any people conflicts within the team file. Therefore, task dates may change. When you paste a task, the earliest it is scheduled is the start date for your team file; most likely, the leveling process will change the date.

To change the start date of your plan, click Options on the Tools menu, click the Calculation tab, and modify the Schedule Start Date field.
