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.

Hello,

I do have a problem migrating from P3 to P6. Everything seems fine except that the total float on the migrated schedule on P6 is 1 day less than the total float on the the original schedule on P3.

Did anyone have such problem before?! Can anyone help?!

Thanks in advance,

Wadi

p3 does not specifically use TIMES and P6 does go to edit users preferences 

click on the dates tab

at the bottom select Time 12 hours

now go to the projects directory and make sure that your project is highlighted

click on the dates tab

click in the planned start make sure that your TIME is 8:00 am or whatever the earliest hours is in your calendar

click in the must fnish by date and change the TIME to 5:00 pm or what every the latest hour is in your calendar 

click in the data date and make the TIME 8:00 am or whatever the earliest hours is in your calendar

go to your activities filter for any constraints

for ALL start type of constraints make the TIME 8:00 am or whatever the earliest hours is in your calendar

for all finish type constraints make the TIME 5:00 pm or what every the latest hour is in your calendar 

schedule the project F9 make sure the TIME is 8:00 am or whatever the earliest hours is in your calendar

also check your calendar amd make sure that the start TIMES and finish TIMES for each day is correct.
