Gents,

I understood you used the "project must finish date" as a ultimate "wall" for the end of your project. You already found out that projects can be delayed or in other cases activties are still to be planned/executed.

In most cases it is better to leave the PMF date open or at the end of the year (f.i. 31-12-2003) and put a mandatory finish contraint at a "final" milestone. The PMF date puts a limit to (calendar) calculations P3 makes and also the timeframe of the screen and print layout.

So good luck next time!

Hi! Tara,

Yes, you are correct! I removed the mandatory finish constraint on the Finish Milestone and everything is ok.

Thank you and best regards,

Hi,

The only reason I can think of is you also have finish milestones with Mandatory Finish Constraint or even a Late Finish Constraint.

Please remove this and try rescheduling,this should work.
