Start and end date

I want to make a completely basic gantt chart. All I want to do is be able to plug in the start date (whether in the past or future) and the end date. Is there a way to ditch the duration column all together and only enter start and end dates??

Just unclick duration from the view menu

I have the same question. It does not allow me to put a start date earlier than today.

A task cannot start on a date earlier than the project start date. Please try adjusting the "Start Date" on the "Project Properties" dialog by clicking "Properties" in the "Project" menu of the Gantter editor.

Same problem here... some tasks are driven by duration and if I wnt to use a start and end date one of the dates always changes so I have to adjust using the duration of the task which is VERY unpractical
