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 Jhorbam,

1. The relationship with dotted line is the "Non-Driving Relationships". Relationship is depends on the logic or sequence of your work. If how are you going to link your activities in a logical way.

In order to fix this you need to change the logic. Non-driving Relationship, frequently happen when your "Free Float" is not equal to zero.

2. I think you need to check your WBS Level / Activity Code if it is "Collapse All or Collapse To" Mode. Try to Expand your WBS Level by going to View --> Expand All. I am not sure but give a try.

Regards,

Arnold
