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.

Hi Ahmet

Short and simple use of Windows Analysis - don't bother because it is a waste of time and useless results.

If you are going to present a delay analysis by impacting an event on a theoretical critical path then do it once on the whole programme not 12 times on bits of it.

Best regards
