Website Upgrade Incoming - we're working on a new look (and speed!) standby while we finalise the project

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.

I am currently using P6 v7.0. We have just created a project, for the finish milestone, we gave it a mandatory finish of August 23, 2013. All the predeccessor activities complete by August 21, 2013. Yet I am showing a total float of -1. Can someone please help me out??

Thanks!!

After looking the above reference I suggest avoiding mandatory constraints, they work differently to finish no latter than constraint and are to be used for some analysis but not for actual management and scheduling.
