Julie,
OK I ran a baseline and my current dates (so far) are the same as my basline
dates however the date when I print out the report to show slipping tasks is
way past the completion date of some tasks. I thought the report would go
look at the date I print and teh date on the ask and show all those tasks as
slipping.

So, I would like all these tasks that are not completed by the date I print
the report or somehow specify, to show as slipping tasks. What am I doing
wrong?

Thanks soo much I have read alot of your replies and you are very helpful!
Wayne

Hi Wayne,

In order to see if tasks are slipping you need to make sure you update
your project and then move any incomplete work forward in time. Add
progress details (Actual Start, Actual Finish, Actual Work, Remaining
Work etc) and then use the Update Project command in Tools > Tracking
Update Project, with the option "Reschedule uncompleted tasks to start
after".

That will move the remaining work and duration forward to the date you
specify and the slipping task report should now make much more sense.

Thanks for the kind comments as well. I appreciate it :-)

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.
