Revising a schedule for a project that was put on hold

[Sam]

I had a complete schedule for a project that was fully underway, and then was put on hold for 3 months. Many of the tasks are partially or 100% complete. The project has now been restarted, and I am trying to bring the schedule up to date.

When I look at the schedule, all of the tasks are still showing dates in the past, even the ones that are 0% complete. Is there an easy way to bring them to the current dates? I.e., if a task hasn't been started, it doesn't make sense for it to have a start/finish date in the past. I don't want to "force" dates using "Start no later than" constraints... I would like for Project to calcuate the ones that need to have their dates moved to the present.

Go to tools menu / tracking / update project and set the uncompleted work to
start after the date of your choice.
I'm afraid it will split tasks and use a delay in order to achieve this but
there is no way around that.
