I am creating a revised target program. I have a number of activities which start dates are pushing out past the data date or will not fix to the date I assign. These activities have no constraints and no relationships! Something is driving them but it is unclear what. The start and finish dates show a star symbol even though no constraints or relationships are assigned? Has anyone come across this before?

    Bill,

    I faced the same issue: Star symbol on finish dates while no constraint was assigned.
    It was coming from field "External finish date". Indeed, when some inter-project relationship are lost, P6 is constraining Early/late dates. Like this, it is artificially keeping time logic.

    To recover a proper schedule, add column "External finish date" and manually remove date within cells.
    Launch calculation, everything should be OK,

    regards
