Reporting on the "last baseline saved" date

[frankod]

Hi All,
When overwriting a baseline in MS Project it comes up with a message to the
effect of "do you want to overwrite the the previous baseline saved on eg
19/02/2008".

I would like to display this last baseline saved date in a project centre
view in Project Server 2003.

Can anyone comment on how I would go about creating this field?
Regards
Franko

Unfortunately, this value is not stored anywhere that can be accessed in the
tool. The way I have gotten around this in the past was to create a macro
that on the save baseline event, stores the current date and time into a
custom project level field. If the user saves the baseline but then does
not save the project, then there is no issue if you store it in a custom
project field as it will not be saved either. You could then display this
project level field in Project Center views.
