Show the Tracking table. Apply an actual start date if the task has started. If the task is complete, apply an actual finish date. If the task has been started but not complete, enter actual duration. Look at remaining duration and update it if it does not match the estimated time to complete from your resources.
To get information about fields - hover over the column heading. In Project 2010 -- press F1, in Project 2007 or earlier, click the hyperlink to the help topic.

ok for instance, although i made the status date to today, th eproject still shows the past start date for an activity. whouldnt it at least pull these past start dates to today? i mean it is impossible for them to start in the past now as i told the project that the status date is today. so how come it is keeping a past date for the start date column?
i mean i would like ms project to calculate the dates as much as possible. but are you saying i enter actual dates? so for this one, it hasnt started, and the date is today, so do i enter today for actual start date? which would not be accurate either...
