If you saved a Baseline for your project, you can click View - Tracking
Gantt. This will graphically display your current schedule (red and blue
Gantt bars) against your original Baseline schedule (gray Gantt bars). Then
click View - Table - Variance and pull the split bar over to the right so
you can see the last two columns. The Finish Variance column will tell you
how many days late your project is for every task, while the Project Summary
Task (row 0 or task 0) will show you how late the project is. If you are
not seeing the Project Summary Task, click Tools - Options - View and select
the "Show project summary task" option.

If you failed to save a Baseline for your project (using Tools - Tracking -
Save Baseline), you cannot use any of these features since the software
needs a Baseline to determine variance from the original schedule. Hope
this helps.

Is there a report somewhere that tells me how late a project has
become?

Thanks.
