Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Yes,
MS Project does not calculate resource critical path and total floats in the MSP resource constrained schedules are erroneous.
If you can switch to other software then you can try Spider Project that calculates resource critical path since 1992.

Hi again, at first thanks for your answer but its hard to level manually projects with many activities furthermore leveling activities manually is not enough to make a resource based critical path in MSP. I overcame this problem with critical cahain method.If you try Prochain software you can see the difference

you might level resource manually and additional links to those tasks (due to resource allocation), then the critical path MSP show you is the critical path considering resource( you did it manually for MSP)
