How do I know that? Because if you see ghost tasks (external tasks) at master level then it is because there are "dangling

What exactly is your first screen shot showing? Is it the dynamic master? I hope not, because if it is, the structure is corrupt. What exactly are you referring to when you say "multiproject"? Do you mean a dynamically linked master with inserted subprojects? If not, what do you mean? Click the New Tasks Created pick list and select the Auto Scheduled option. In the Scheduling Options for This Project section, click the pick list where you see the name of your projectĪnd select the All New Projects item on the pick list. In the Project Options dialog, click the Schedule tab. To avoid all of these problems in all future projects, click File > Options. Click this button and select the Auto Scheduled option. From this point forward, your project schedule will automatically recalculate every time you make any kind of schedule edit.Īlso, in the lower left corner of the Microsoft Project application window, you will probably see a button that says New Tasks: Manually Scheduled. If this is the case, click the Select All button to select every task in the project. You are using Manually Scheduled tasks, and that would be the reason that the dates do not automatically calculate for you. If you look at the Gantt bars in the Gantt Chart view of your project, if the Gantt bars are a turquoise color, This problem is through the whole project so tasks all the way along look like they are starting before they really should.įrom your description, it sounds totally like you are using Manually Scheduled tasks, which is not what you should be using in your project. When I delete the start date and end date and the predecessor, then retype the predecessor, the new correct start and end dates pop in. To me task B start should move but it stays the same. I change the duration of task A from 5 to 10days because it is taking longer than expected. So as an example, I have task A (create project plan) and task B (signoff project plan) is FS+1day I started my project fresh (didn't try to reuse an old project with old info, just started typing tasks and linking them fresh) My project is standalone (no related projects linked) I went into file options schedule and calculate project after each edit is on I have not entered start or end date manually on any of them I just got project 2010 at work and for some reason none of the tasks are changing based on the predecessors unless I delete the start and end date and the predecessor info and then retype the predecessor info. OK, I know this has been asked a bunch of times but I can't find a recent one and I have tried the suggestions with no luck.
