Dear Sirs.
I am using P6 Ver.7
i have a schedule in that i have an Activity which Duration is 150 days other all activites having max.duration less then 150 days .
This activity Longest path of the schedule
but it is not critical i mean it not showing red Critical line other activitiy which is duration is 90 days shows a red Critical path.
How i can make the max Duration activity become Critical activity.
Thanks & Regards

Longest Path doesn’t mean longest activity. It is the longest network created by the logic behind it.
If the longest activity is not critical it means that activity is not sitting on critical path and or longest path of the network. If you want it to be critical then check the logic and make sure it sit on the critical path and or total float = 0. - 0Mike Testro ·Hi Shazia
As Rodel says - it is the logic that drives the critical path.
If the logic is correct then you should not try to adjust it to give false criticality to a particular task.
As a side issue tasks of 90 to 1`50 days are far too long - maxmum task duration should be 10 days.
Best regards
