Capturing 'Actual' Task Completion Timestamp/Date
At my company, we are utilizing MS Project Server 2003 to allow other teams to report activity on tasks. They perform this operation in MS Project Server Web and are able to mark a task 100% complete, indicating it is done.
How can I capture the true 'Actual' date when they marked it 100% complete, as MS Project seems to default the completion date to the "Planned Finish" or "Finish" for the task versus timestamping when it was marked complete.

I think overall - this is an issue within MS Project where it won't actually record the date/time the information was captured. It wouldn't be a hard solution to manage - but I think the only way I could enforce adherence would be to create my own interface and capture the info myself.
Thanks for trying.

Good thought, but the testing performed didn't force users to fill the field, it just took the value. Not much for holding accountability.
