(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.
Everyone,
I currently have a 14 day (7 day calendar-no BH holidays) running through Christmas. It is the last path on the network, barring a finish milestone for 'planned completion'. which is its successor. This milestone has a 5 day claendar. As the previpous 14 day task is showing a finish of 30/12/11 the milesone finishes at the same (not honouring its calendar). If it was to honour its calendar, it should read 09/01/12. Can anyone tell me how to make the succeeding task calendar be the driver in MSP 2007 Pro.
Thanks Stuart

Hi Stuart
As soon as a predecessor task comes out of a none work period the successor task will drop into the first available work day available in its own calendar.
A milestone - having no duration - will drop into a very small gap - even 1 second long.
So make sure you calendars and work patterns are concurrent with no gaps.
Also check what calendars are on the resources.
Best regards
Mike Testro.
Hi Stuart,
I don't have 2007 so not 100% sure, but could this be because a milestone has zero duration, and hence there is no work being done on the milestone during the non-work day of 30/12/11?
What happens if you make the milestone a 1 day activity with a -1d lag?
