Default New to project - Predecessor Question

I have a project plan setup and basically it has several different department within our organization such as Human Resources, General Counsel, Accounting, etc. Ultimately we will be doing a project with every single one of them.

Within each group there are several tasks and the tasks are all predecssors of each other. Meaning task 1 has to be done before task 2 so forth and so on. Each task has a duration assigned to it. Before when I set a start date it would automatically adjust the rest of the tasks within that project to make them flow how it should. However, as soon as I mark one task complete in the % complete column the predecssors just stop working and the dates don't automatically update anymore. So if I try to shift a project up a week cause were ahead or something I can't...it won't automatically update the rest of the tasks by just entering the new date into the 1st task?

Any ideas?
