Hi -

I am writing a web interface to add tasks to a project. The backend db is
SQL Server - the problem I am having (and that I expected to have) is
setting the Start and Finish dates. Setting the Baseline Start and Finish
work fine - not surprising. But when I set the Start and Finish dates via
the web, as soon as I open the project up in MSP2K, my dates are not what I
set them to be.

 This only seems to happen if my task is of duration > 0 days. If I set my
Start and Finish dates to be the same date - the dates that I submit show up
fine in the Start and Finish columns when I open Project.

Here is an example:
What I want:
Baseline Start, Baseline Finish,Start, Finish
9/20/01, 11/20/01, 9/20/01, 11/20/01

What I get:
Baseline Start, Baseline Finish,Start, Finish
9/20/01, 11/20/01, 11/20/01, 1/16/02

MSP2K seems to maintain the duration (43d) but then it puts the desired
Finish date in the Start column.

Any ideas? I have thought about playing with the duration ...

I figured out the answer to my own question -

In order to force the dates I wanted - I had to set the "Must Finish On "
constraint with the constraint date being my Finish date. This gave me the
results I wanted.
