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.

Make sure you set a must finish project date constraint if you want to compute float relative to such date. It can create negative float or even a longest path with positive float.

If you do not set a finish date constraint no negative float will be computed and float will be zero along longest path.
