Thanks for that David. That is what I did in the end.
When you import a project that had external relationships the "External" date fields are populated. So the "External early finish" is when the predecessor from the missing project finished.
Move those dates to a Start-on-or-after constraint and the job is done.
I have tried doing the "Ignore relationships to and from other projects" but it does not work. I guess it only works if there is a link to an exterternal project, which in this case, there arent any links because only one project was exported in xer format. I had to do it manually by identifying open started activities and then putting a constraint on each one, thereby locking in the dates.
Hi,
Before scheduling (F9), try to go to option and mark the checkbox next to "Ignore relationships to and from other projects".
Just try this.

the setting you are looking for is the "Constraint"
ofcourse you have to ,manually put a constraint, but that is not complicated, you can do it in Global change or manually after filtering out all "external linked activities"
