Project 2007

[Vishal Garg]

Scenario

Project s scheduled from the start date
Project Start date is 1/19/10
Status date is set as 12/20/09

Now if we change the Status date to "NA" the tasks duration as well as the
start and finish date changes.

I want to change the Status date to "NA" without affecting duration or
sart/finish dates of the tasks

The only fields impacted by the Status Date change should be timephased reporting
fields like Earned Value or custom calculated fields.

A couple of questions to help troubleshoot:

1) Are you sure the default Duration field is changing, or is it a custom
field?
2) How do you change the Status Date?
3) What is the nature of the change? Is it going up, going down? Does the
change differ based on how you change the Status Date?
4) Why is the Status Date set before the project actually begins?
