Baseline Date Roll-up Issue in 2007

[Joe Herlihy]

I am evaluating supplier schedules submitted to a prime contractor in a new
technology development project. The suppliers are required to align their
activities with the Prime's activities by placement of Prime activity IDs in
user defined text fields in each supplier's project file.

I am now doing a roll-up of activity status by the Prime's activity ID.

The issue in Project 2007 (12.0.6211.1000) SP MSO (12.0.6425.1000) is that
the summary roll-up picks the LATEST baseline start date - not the earliest.
I have checked this out in a number of different scenarios.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi Joe,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup

Without trying to recreate your scenario, it could be that you are scheduelling from the finish rather than the start. Check in Project/Project Information.../Schedule from:
