RE: MS project

Hi Helen

Thanks for your question. You can set your estimated project start date by going to the Project menu and choosing Project Information. In the top left hand corner click the start date drop down box and select your preferred date.

Hope this helps - do let us know if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,
Andrew

Ms project tip:

Keep constraining dates to a minimum

As far as possible avoid fixing the dates of your tasks. For example try to steer of clear dragging task bars in the Gantt chart to move them on the timeline or entering dates directly into the Start / Finish fields.

Date constraints such as these limit Microsoft Project's ability to automatically adjust your project whenever you add, remove or modify the duration of your tasks. Instead use the logic in your task dependencies that link your tasks to enable Project to calculate the start and finish dates for you.
