links in optimistic and pessimistic Gantt charts

[maryj]

Using Project 2003. I added some tasks. In the Optimistic view, I've linked 2
tasks, Finish-to-Start, Start as soon as possible, yet the start date for the
2nd task does not change. When I switch to the standard Gantt chart, the
proper links are visible. Do those other views need to be refreshed in some
way?

Thanks!

Hello maryj,

The PA_Optimistic Gantt and PA_Pessimistic Gantt charts draw their bars
from Start1 to Finish1 (for Optimistic) and Start3 to Finish3 (for
Pessimistic). If you just add new tasks, add links, or change link
relatioships, unless you run the Calculate Pert command again, the
values for the fields are not recalculated. Click the Calculate Pert
button on the PERT analysis toolbar to recalculate the fields.

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