Task dates don't update when I change the project start date

[James Bisset]

Using MS Project 2002/Windows XP.

I have a project plan setup and need to change the start date for the
project. All the tasks are linked with Finish-to-Start constraints,
with the task constraints set to As Soon As Possible.

There is one milestone task which is not connected to any other tasks.

If I change the project start date (Project>Project Information) there
is no change to the timeline.

If I change the start date of the first task, it shifts along the
timeline, but all the other tasks stay where they are.

Can anyone help?

Regards

James.

Check a couple of things. First, make sure that recalculation is set to
"automatic." (Tools Options Calculation) Then change your project start
date using the ChangeProject Start tool on the Analysis toolbar instead of
simply editing the start date in the Project Information screen.

Isn't there an actual Start to some or all of the tasks?
