Oh, Paul Harris,



Its great to hear from you. I solved the problem according to your first option. The second option is interesting, I will try this one too.



Thanks Paul,



Best Regards,



Shahab

This is one of the many problems with P6 when one is trying to use it on more complex projects as it does not have a subproject function as found in P3.



The two options I have used are:



1.     Set the Project Must Finish Dates for both projects to be the same, or

2.     Establish milestones in each subproject that are linked to the latest subproject finish date.

By design activities with a mandatory constraint have a total float=0. Exception if your data date is later than the constraint date.
