I have been woking on the same project file (in MS Project 2002) for a few
years. When I save the file & open it again it opens in May of 2008 even
though I have the Project start date set at 1/1/10 & no tasks start earlier
than 1/1/10. How can I set it to open on the date I closed it last, like
March 2010?

You might be able to do something with a simple macro that runs the F5 command
then goes to the Status Date on pressing a button. Of course, you could
also just open the file and hit F5 then go to whatever date you'd like.

Straight from my book:

Private Sub Project_Open(ByVal pj As Project)
EditGoTo Date:=Date
End Sub

Paste this into the ThisProject file in your Global.mpt folder and all
projects will go to today's date.
