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.

Next most obvious thing to check is if there is a constraint at the project level.

Assuming you are using P6 (most do), you can check this from Enterprise > Projects. Right-click on your project from the EPS structure and select "Project Details". Go to the "Dates" tab and check that the "Must Finish By" field is blank

 

If it's not this, calendars would be the next thing I'd look at.

Hi Faiz

There could be any number of reasons but the most common is that you have some Must End By constraints.

Remove ALL constraints and reschedule.

Best regards
