how can i update actuals using project web access?

[MIP]

Is there any way to have the team members update the actual start and finish
date along with their work using Project Web Acess (PWA)??

The problem I'm having is due to the fact that if a task takes longer than
anticipated the following tasks are not shifted to reflect the delay. Rather,
the following tasks still occur on the sceduled date. If the memebers can
update the actual start date using PWA this overlap can be avoided.

You can add these to each project by going to Tools > Customize > Published
fields. After adding them to the published fields, you must also add them to
the TimeSheet view in Project Web Access and republish each project plan to
push the new fields out to the users.

Logon to PWA using an Admin account, go to Admin > Manage Views and select
the timesheet for modification.

Thanks Gary,

Now the Actual Start and Finish dates are showing in the PWA Timesheet view
but they cannot be edited. I have setup (Tools/Customize/Published Fields)
and republished all projects. I ensured the "Custom Field Type" is
"Assignment" and the check box "Let resource change field" is checked. What
am I doing wrong?

Are you using hours of work per day? If this is the case, the actual start
and finish should be captured and written by the system, not your users. If
your dates aren't changing when you update tasks, perhaps your client
settings are wrong?

The hours of work per day setting was selected but I have now selected
"resources should report their total hours worked for a week" and I still
cannot update the actual start and finish dates in the timesheet... what
other client settings must be configured??
