From: strach on 31 Mar 2010 02:47 I definitely was, and it seems I just found the solution. Looks like the successor task is not lined up sequentially after predecessor due to setting non-zero value for "% complete" to successor. Once I set it back to zero it works fine again.

Hi Strach, Thanks for the update and the explanation of what was causing the error. To clarify for anyone else reading along, when Strach talks about a non-zero % complete, the issue was that once a task has even 1% complete marked against it, the task also has an Actual Start date. Once a task has an Actual Start date, it will not longer respond to changes in predecessors. By setting the % complete back to zero, you removed the Actual Start date.
