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.

URGENT PLEASE!

Don’t forget to check for External Dates, These dates are applied in a fashion similar to constraints, but are derived from external links to other projects.

I’ve found a heap of them in the ones I’ve been looking after, it appears they came from excessive copy and pasting of the schedule in an attempt to create backups and copies in case the network crumped.

Imagine the look on their eyes when they learnt about the baseline feature????????

Anyway they can cause a headache.

If your early dates are as expected then check your TF column. Looks like you have a constraint date which is giving you 3 years negative float.

Dear Rabbani,

Check the data date for the project, predecessor and successor of the activity in question.

Regards,

Ashraf
