I have workshop materials on MS-Project 2003 with dozens of screen shots
dated in 2006. I changed the current date to be 1/1/2006 in project
information. Then when the students have to change working time it will
think it's 1/1/2006 and not 7/08. This has worked previously but now it
isn't. No matter what I do I can't get it to start at 1/1/2006 if I'm trying
to change working time on the standard calendar or a resource calendar.

Thoughts? I really don't want to have to redo these screen shots each time
we teach this. It's too time consuming.

And I swear I got it to work previously!

Thanks!

Hi,

Thoughts, yes, but not tested
- In Project Information did you also set the project start to 1/1/6?
- Ultimpate resoruce - change the computer date to 1/1/6.
Hope this helps,

Actually, the project start date is 2/1/06. I thought about changing the
computer date. I'm waiting for an answer from the help desk to make sure I
am not creating a nightmare if I do.
