From: Rob Schneider on 21 Dec 2009 11:50 Can you please elaborate on what you want? From what "threat" or other thing are you trying to protect? And what is a "final date gantt"? There is not special security inside a MPP file. If one has a copy of the MPP file anyone can change whatever they want. What you instead need to focus on is securing the source or original MPP file from change if it other people making changes. You can set the "official" plan, prior to recording updates/status by setting a Baseline. Read about Baselines in Project's Help. --rms www.rmschneider.com On 21/12/09 15:51, PaseEscolar wrote: > How do i protect or block this final date from Gantt???? > >

PaseEscolar, What exactly do you mean by "protect" or "block"? If you mean you want to prevent anyone from making changes, then your only option is to write protect the whole file. If you mean you want to prevent the date from moving in a dynamic project, then you can set it as a deadline date, (i.e. use Deadline field), and manage the project toward that goal. Remember, NO dates are absolutely fixed. You either meet them or you don't. As a project manager it is your job to do the best planning and execution of that plan as is humanly possible. If you miss a critical date, then hopefully you learned something for the next time. If you beat the date, then good for you - hopefully you didn't cut corners to get there. If you make the date exactly then you are either very good or very lucky. John Project MVP
