Zero Float

In the Open Standard

I am building up a plan at the moment and I have 2 tasks with no successor and within the project date but showing zero float.

I would expect the float to be the difference between the 2 dates and not zero. Is this the way of MSP or is there a switch to turn this off?

    perhaps...If they are dangling at the end of a path with no successor and have zero total slack, you must have the "show multiple critical paths" option turned on in tools, options, calculation.

    when this option is on, MSP sets the total slack to zero for all tasks in the dangling path, and displays red because total slack = 0.

    Hi Trevor,

    Thanks for answer. I would want MSP to show multiple critical paths. I guess I am just not used to this as for example P3 doesnt do this (I think).

    Oh well I just need to ensure all tasks arent dangling.

    Cheers,

    mark
