constraints

In MS Project 2003 (it’s probably similar in 2007) there’s an option in Tools->Options->Scheduling called ’New tasks:’, which you can configure to the current date or the project start date. Of course ideally every task in your schedule should be linked to a predecessor.



When constructing a schedule from scratch is it often useful to create a milestone called ’Project Baseline Start’ with an ’Actual Finish’ set to the current date. This can be linked to any tasks that are due to start immediately.



Cheerio...

Hi Faisal



Sorry but I have no further suggestions to offer.

Hi Faisal



I hate Microsoft Project and never use it unless I have to.



You can - I beleive - do a global search and constraint removal.



There is also a default setting somewhere that sets the attributes for new activities - the standard is to put a constraint on every activity - just plain bonkers.



You have my deepest sympathy having to use such rubbish.



Best regards



Mike Testro.
