Hello gang, long time no speak... ; )
The client I am currently working with has created their plans in version MSP Standard 2002 (SP1) (I know, I know that 2002 is an obsolete version...). It seems that the baseline rollup feature, that I believe was introduced in this version, may have corrupted our baselines.
Primarily, the "timephased" baseline data does not display, or it does not add up to what we should have or see in the adjacent task level baseline fields. Oddly enough, I ran a macro that outputs the baseline data, at the task and timephase level, and the baselines data (task and timephase) are perfect if I use the macro against the file(s) to output the baseline data.
I tried bringing in these problematic files into MSP version 2010, but unfortunately they still display the baseline data as described above; incorrectly! Note, I tried rebaselining which refreshes the numbers and everything looks fine after that, but we do not want to do that because it will change what we had in our initial baselines.
Why does MS Project display different values in its timephase fields versus what I pull the data out using VBA ?
Is there a way to refreshing the timephased data so that it displays what it has stored (that which I retrieve via VBA)? By the way, F9 (refresh) does not do anything.
