Why are blank tasks appearing after I baseline?

[Whitley]

I am getting very weird results when trying to baseline my project. After
baselining, I have blank tasks that are present --- and some of my original
tasks are deleted. Can anyone answer what may be causing this, as I don't
have a clue and my colleagues in the office have no answers.

Also, I can't find the buffer tasks after baselining (...the feeding buffers
or the project buffer. Very weird, the projected dates are displayed, but
all of the buffer info is somewhere in limbo). I appreciate any suggestions
you can offer. This is a very large project file, with over 250 tasks
(perhaps that may be part of the problem???)

250 is very reasonable and I wouldn't call that very large at all!

What you are seeing is not expected, so top culprit may well be a file
corruption. Try FAQ 43 at http://project.mvps.org/faqs.htm
