(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.

thanks guys, i understand it more now, i just felt it was strange to have discrepancies on my total floats. the above comments were very helpful..cheers...
From the following figure you will find that no matter what definition of float you use, start float or finish float it is possible even when using the same calendar that some activities can have lower Start/Finish Float than the summary bar while others show more.
Summary bar aaa has a start float of 10 while activity a1 start float of 15 and activity a3 have 0 start float.
Summary bar aaa has a finish float of 5 while activity a1 finish float of 15 and activity a3 have 0 finish float.
Normally different float values (not necessarily negative), in a sequence of activities, depends on different calendars inside the schedule.
This always happens and is not a problem.
