Task start date

[Dip]

Hi,

Is there any key or shortcut to change/adjust the start date of several
tasks at the same time.

Thanks,
Dip

To start new tasks on the current date:
Tools>Options - Schedule tab
New tasks box drop down to "Start on current date"

Or to change the date on specific tasks highlight the tasks and click the
task information icon on the standard tool bar and this will allow you to
make multiple changes in one go.

Hope this helps?

Changing the start date does not change the start date. Normally start
dates are calculated based on the project start date, the links between
tasks, and the durations of the predecessors to the task in question. If
you enter something manually in the task's Start Date field, you are
actually setting a 'Start No Earlier Than...' constraint, not the start date
per se. Project's job is to calculate the schedule for you - you don't tell
it the dates you want tasks to start on, it tells YOU the dates tasks CAN
start on. You use that to direct the resources as to what they ought to be
doing and when they ought to do it. Let it do its job for you.
