Dear Darren,



It works.After pressing the F9, Summary task dates match with lower level tasks.I have also set the calculation mode as automatic.



Thanks a lot Darren.



Regards,



Deb

Hi Deb,



This could happen due to a number of reasons, a few of the more common ones are listed below...



1) Calculation mode is set to manual.



Do the summary task dates match the lower level tasks when you hit F9? If they do you might have to set the calculation mode to automatic. (Tools > Options > Calculation)



2) The outline structure is incorrect



Are all the subtasks indented under the summary task? If one or more of the sub-tasks aren’t indented, the expected Start / Finish Dates for the summary task will not match the sub-tasks.



3) The summary tasks aren’t shown



Is the ‘Show summary tasks’ outline option checked? If it isn’t MS Project will only display the sub-tasks. (Tools > Options > View)



Regards,



Darren
