Re: how to going back to baseline in project?

The short answer is, you can't. A baseline is a snapshot of what the
schedule looked like when you created the baseline. While you can VIEW the
baseline to compare the present state of the project to it and thus see if
you are on track, there's no way to undo changes that have been made to the
project and roll it back to the state it was in when you saved the baseline.
If you don't have a backup - and you really should save a backup before
posting updates, just in case - you're out of luck.

Careful! Your "solution" has probably created more problems than it solved.
Remember, when you develop the plan, if you did it properly, you would NOT
have typed any dates into the Start and Finish columns - under normal
circumstances those are supposed to be calculated fields, NOT user-input.
Indeed, calcualting those dates is the whole reason for using Project in the
first place. The problem is that by copying back into the Start/Finish
columns there's a real good chance you have now set Start No Earlier Than or
Finish No Earlier Than constraints on those tasks, most of which are not
going to be justified and will completely screw up the plan's usability. If
you look at the indicator column down the left side of the Gantt chart entry
table you probably see a bunch of little calendar icons that weren't there
before (or shouldn't have been there before).
