Hi James,
unfortunately, no; MS Project does not provide such a scheduling report as Primavera where out of sequence, open ended activities a.s.o. would be high-lighted
to easily (?) retrieve out of sequence activities (activity B with a FS link to activity A started before A is being finished), it needs a VBA script, as a filter cannot select an activity because of its predecessor

Considering my Italian background, great suggestions. Will take under advisement.
From what you are saying, MP does not allow or provides a way to provide a list of out of sequence activities like Primavera log does. Is that correct?

Hi, Mike!
But of course one has to assume that all project team members have been properly instructed on the right way to deal with potential schedule improvements:
1. Take the suggestion to the planner (ECP, or engineering change proposal);
2. Have its overall implications analyzed;
3. Implement the work and schedule change (ECO, or engineering change order).
If the team has NOT been properly instructed, then the project manager has been guilty of a grievous omission and should:
1. Shoot himself;
2. Bury himself.
In that order, of course.
Go, England! (Does the weather ever do anything but rain? In Barbados, we'd never allow that during an important cricket match!)

Hi Stephen
Before executing your procedure perhaps the judge and jury should check that the guilty person was aware that what he was doing was a capital offence rather than a neater way of getting the job done.
Does MP stand for Military Police?
Best regards

Yes, in MSP or in any other software:
Hope that helps.
