Currently after update i have found a peculiar situation in my update. There is an activity with a single predecessor and successor, the total float of this activity is very high and in no way co-relates to the backwardpass calculations of the schedule. Both the predessor and the successor of the activity have a FS link.

Has anyone experienced this before and can explain to me why it is happenning and what’s the solution.

    Any chance you have Progress override turned on? Or maybe you need to run the pfxw utility.

    Check the last activity in the sequence. If the activity is left as an open end, link it to the nearest next relevant activity and re-calculate the schedule.

    thanks for the response..........but the activity is not an open ended activity. it has a successor with a finish to start link and the successor has a negative float.

    Ismail,
    If everything is ok as per suggestions of other planners and you still have same problem try to add a new activity with same duration and dependencies and see if this give correct float?

    hi, thanks for all the suggestion.

    Finally managed to figure out the problem. the current problem that i am facing with the float is due to the Scheduling option being set to Progress Overide. Once it has been reset to retained logic then the floats are ok.
