Hi Tom,
Good method, but it is not so accurate.
if one of the pred. of the milestone have a min. free float,that not means this pred. is driving the milestone, because its succ other than this milestone may cause the min FF. Am i right?
Hi all
I have the same issue in MSP, this is how I have addressed it (partly):-
Lets say you have 20 or so activites feeding into a milestone and you want to identify which ones are driving
First filter on tasks which have the milestone as a succesor, then filter these for criticality or free float.
My understandin gof the definition if driving is :-
Those activities preceeding an activty which are either critical or have minimum or zero "free float"
i.e. any delay to these preceeding activities will inturn delay the current activity
I would be pleased to get some feedback an dview on this solution
Kind regards
Tom
Im writing a VB code but have some problem
the code can only deal with Lag in day or eday,for lag as 50% the result is no correct.
the method is to caculate the start date for the task using each pred. if the caculated date is the same as MSP, then the Pred. is considered driving.
Is there any other easy method?
Dear All,
It is possible for MS Project to provide an analysis of the activity driver information. This needs a bit of additional VB coding, but will quickly and clearly show the full CP\Driver for each selected milestone.

Robyn
Hello,
MS Project up to 2003 and Server ignores what a driving / non driving predecessor is.
To get what you want, you could set Tools, Options, Calculation, Tasks are critical ... to more than 0, and so on.
Or build a filter whereto enter the desired value of slack.
