There are two other options for lags:



Elapsed lags, say FS+10edays will give you an elapsed lag ignoring the Successor calendar.



Percent Lags, say FS-50% which will allow the successor to start 50% through the duration of the predecessor.



P3 and SuerTrak use the predecessor calendar but Primavera Enterprise gives several options.

In MSP 2003, working days in lag relationships are computed based on the Successor Activity’s calender. This defaults to the Project Calendar if no other calendar is specified for the successor activity. (I think P3 uses the Predessesor’s calendar).



[This is a correction I just learned today, so I thought I’d post it for the record.]

I have been told that MS Project lags are calculated using the Default Calendar.
