Baseline display

[meg99]

using 2003. I have some fixed duration tasks for which the effort is
less than 40 hrs. I have saved a baseline with the baseline start and
finish dates exactly the same as the forecast start and finish dates
(including the time).
I have created a bar to show the baseline. The problem is that the
baseline bar shows longer than the forecast bar.
On some tasks it shows ahead of the bar, on some after the bar.
What gives? Why would the baseline bar show any different than the
forecast bar when the dates and times are exactly the same?

It's the same in every barchart view. I have a couple of customized
Gantt charts and a customized Tracking Gantt (along with the standard
Tracking Gantt.) They all show the same thing on the same tasks. The
wierd thing is that not all of the tasks display this anomaly although
all tasks have been initially set with a baseline and none of the
tasks have been updated or statused. This is the initial setup and I
am confused why 3 or 4 of these tasks would display an extended
baseline.

No idea why this so, meg99. Could you zip up a sample project and send it
to Me? I can't promise anything, but I'll have a look. glenATmvps.org -
replace AT with @.
