Dear Planners,
I am establishing a schedule on MS Project 2010, after finishing the schedule I detected that the start date of the project is not critical, it has 35 days float. Eventhough no constraints applied and no open ends exist.
Regards,
Moutaz
Please check the following :-
1. The Project finish date is matching with the schedule finish date
2. If still the start date is showing float it means that somewhere the relation is open or a constrain in the project is driving the CRITICAL activities.
3. You can send the file to me to check for issues.
Possible options (assuming there is a difference between the milestone and the first activities float)
Dear Gary,
Sorry that is what I mean, the first task is successor to the milestone date.
Best,
Moutaz
the first task should be the sucessor of the start milestone, not predecessor
Yes, Gary it is a milestone and the first task is the predecessor of this milestone.

Moutaz
when you say start date is not critical, do you mean start milestone?
If so, check the first task that is on your critical path has a predeccesor of the start milestone
