This video answers questions like I received from Dawn

My name is Dawn. I'm currently in the midst of doing my end-of-course assignment for Project Management, which requires me to utilize MS Project. I'm stuck. Please help me. How do I add the estimated cost for each tasks? I have many more questions and I hope you can help me.  Your help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

We use MS Project for helping rollup the costs of a project for proposal purposes. So, adding in normal task etc with the resources and the hourly rates in the backend. So I typically add in the task, then the resources and everything is ok - the cost column rolls up the costs as it would do normally, but when I them go to add in the dates for the work to start, all hell breaks loose when the costs now change - as would expect project to do, but I don't want that to happen, the costs are fixed - all I want to do is highlight when the work will start, not actually say that the task taking 2 days longer etc. Is there a way to fix this ?
