How can I avoid showing total slack as say 10.1 days. In otherwords what is wrong with calendars or durations allocated to tasks for this to happen?

    Stuart,
    1. did you put a date constraint on one task?
    2. did you change something in the calendars or calendar options?
    Regards,
    Alexandre

    Go into Tools | Options | View and pick a date format that shows the time.

    It is possible that the Finish date of the task in question as a time on it that is not the same as the default end time for the calendar.

    i guess it happens because of using percentage lags..?

    There are many reasons why this may happen, but displaying the times with the date is the first step to resolving what is happening.

    Then as Brian has indicated check that you default start and finish times are aligned with your calendars.

    The problem was a number of lags with 1.25 days. Thanks again everyone.
