Riiight, so I'm pretty new to MS Projects and running Projects Professional
at work...

I was just wondering: If i open up a plan and some of my finish dates for
the respective tasks (work packages?) have changed; how do i capture the new
dates without losing the old ones?

i.e. I want to (at a later stage) have the capability of seeing what the
date was as appose to what it was changed to?

Have tried to look on this forumn but i dotn exactly knwo what to search
for...

Thanks...
