@Risk: Tasks Start before Project Start Date

Tasks start early if Project schedules from the finish date; switch to scheduling from the start date to prevent this.

@RISK 6.x and Up, Professional and Industrial Editions

Check whether your project is scheduled from the start date or the finish date.

If it’s scheduled from the finish date, Project keeps the finish date fixed and adjusts task start dates, which can cause some tasks to begin before the official project start.
To avoid this, switch the project to schedule from the start date.
