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.

Hi every body
I’m using p6 v7, and its doing some weird things, when i change the relationship and then schedule the activity stays with the first date and there is no constraints.
I even deleted the preedecc. of an activity and pressed F9 the start datet was not the data date, it was the date before deleting the predec.
Any ideas????????????

I came across this a few months ago and I found that when you copy and past some activities they bring across dates in the fields called External Early Start and External Early Finish. I think this was because I was copying completed activities. Just clear any dates if the External Early Start and External Early Finish.

I’m sure you’ve checked this, but has the activity got an actual start date?
