decreasing the duration of a task pushes my date forward

How do I get it to stop doing that?

If you mean that the task ends sooner, therefore the project ends sooner,
you can either enter a lag time (i.e. 16FS+4d) or a "must finish on"
constraint, or make the successor have a "start no earlier than" constraint.

I hope that helps!

Barb,

What date? The start date of the task? The start date of the
successor? The end date of the project? what do you mean by "pushes
date forward" -- earlier in the schedule?

We'll need more meaningful information from you to be able to help.
Let's start with:

What version of Project?
What service pack?

Please describe in detail what you are doing, what you are seeing,
and what you expected and we'll do our best to assist.

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.
