No driving activity in P5 ?

In the Open Standard

All,

I have a few activities which are not showing a primary driving activity (i.e the driving tick box is unticked in all activities)

Surely one activity will always be driving ?

Keep Planning,

Kevin.

    Hi Kevin
    How did you manage? The following is out of P5-Help:
    "Driving:Indicates whether the Free Float for this relationship is zero or less. Any delay in the predecessor activity will delay the successor activity".
    I just see three chances to have no driving activity:
    1. You defined a code or a UDF "driving" and show it in the activity table ignoring that it is acode or UDF.
    2. You "painted" your schedule with constraints and have a free float between all of them
    3. There are no relationships between your activities.

    Maybe others know more reasons?!

    Hi Mark
    No need for a driving activity to be on the longest path. But all driving activities for those on the longest path belong to it. Criterium for driving is free float=zero.

    Regards
    Dieter
