Resolution for Project
Server 2002 and 2003
If you are using the Hours of work done per
day or per week method for tracking progress, then each team member indirectly
determines the Actual Start and Actual Finish dates of the task. The Actual
Start date of a task is the first date on which any assigned resource reports
time on the task, while the Actual Finish date of the task is the date on which
the last assigned resource completes work on the task.
If you are using either the % Work Complete or Actual
Work and Remaining Work method for tracking project progress, you will need to
add the Actual Start and Actual Finish fields to your team members' timesheets
in Project Web Access. Once you have done this,
each team member can enter the Actual Start date and Actual Finish date of each
task assignment, and this will impact the Start and
Finish dates of the task.
To add the Actual Start and Actual Finish fields to
each user's timesheet in Project Web Access, refer to the following link:

If your organization uses the standard layout of
columns on the My Tasks page, users can simply modify the Start and Finish dates
for their task assignments, and then submit this information to their project
manager as a task update for approval.
