MS Project - Master/sub-Project dates

[LeslieF]

Hello,

I am having the same problem as Camille, who posted a question regarding the
project dates for inserted projects (see 11/17/2004 message MS Project).

While trying to create a Master Project, I keep encountering a strange
problem. I insert a project and it automatically has a finsih date for
1/24/06 (which is the finish date of the master project assigned
automatically by MSProject) I have to expand the subtask in order for the
correct date to show up for that particular project, and this happens for
every new project I enter on my Master project. Then once I have done that
there are other times that the dates change back to the 1/24/06 date on every
project and I have to go back and expand each one for the correct dates to
show up again. Hope this makes sense and does anyone have a solution.

As she did, I also confirmed that the project is scheduled from State Date.
I find that if I "Select All", then select "Show All Tasks", all the inserted
projects will revert to their correct dates. But this isn't a practical
solution for making sure someone opening the master project file will see the
correct dates.

Any suggestions?
