Task Dependencies causing Contraints? (
in [Project]
|
From: Natasha on 29 Jan 2010 15:21 I currently have a project plan, due to company policies, where all tasks are set to begin as soon as possible and have a predecessor w/no contraints. My problem is some of my tasks still have contraints (Start no Earlier) now matter how many times I reset these defaults. When I reopen the plan the contraints are back. My question is do dependencies cause contraints? How will I know if that is the case? Thank you for all your help
From: Rod Gill on 29 Jan 2010 15:46 Dependencies do not cause constraints. Are there any macros that run automatically on save or open? Does anyone else access the plan? Does this happen for all files or just this one?

I'm afraid you need to talk to the Clarity people as nothing in Project can do what you describe. -- Rod Gill Microsoft MVP for Project - http://www.project-systems.co.nz Author of the only book on Project VBA, see: http://www.projectvbabook.com "Natasha" <ngj26(a)yahoo.com> wrote in message news:7ab7003d-526e-4f36-97a6-950b6767a5a6(a)b7g2000pro.googlegroups.com... > > > >> Dependencies do not cause constraints.

Are you typing in dates in the start or finish fields? Are you dragging the bars around on the Gantt Chart with the mouse ? This would be very easy to fix and explain if I can see the file, if you can send it to me. -- Trevor Rabey 0407213955 61 8 92727485 PERFECT PROJECT PLANNING www.perfectproject.com.au "Natasha" <ngj26(a)yahoo.com> wrote in message news:7ab7003d-526e-4f36-97a6-950b6767a5a6(a)b7g2000pro.googlegroups.com... > Dependencies do not cause constraints.
