Here is what I consider the #1 tip check your TIMES
Make sure that your project start TIME, your data date TIME, your Project must finish by TIME, any constraint TIMES, your actual start TIME and your actual finish TIME are all correct and matches the earliest time for Project Start TIME, data date TIME, Actual start TIME, Start Constraints Times. make sute that it matches the latest hour in all of your calendar being used for project must finish by TIME, actual finish TIME, and any Finish Constraint TIMES.
If these are not correct you can have activities that span more than the original duration. ie, a 1 day activity starts on one day and finishes on the next day spanning 2 days instead of starting and finishing all on the same day.
I see this all of the time turn your times on and spot check a few 1 day activities and see if they span 1 day or 2. This wil have an effect on your float valuves if not correct.
You will be surprised.
