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.

item #2 Also check you durations in the users preferences click on the Time units and under Durations Format make sure that the decimal is 2 places. If you have ANY original durations or remaining durations that that are not whole numbers change these to whole numbers.

item #3 check ALL constraint dates for the start constraints make sure that the start TIME is 8:00 am or the earliest time in anyy of your calendars being used.
