MS Project 2000 Flaw????

[Jason]

Ok, I am familiar with MS Project and all but I came
across an interesting problem.

I wish I could post a screen print on here to show the
problem but since I can't I'll try to describe it.

I like to keep my scedhules a flexable as possible so I
try to keep all tasks as start as soon as possible and
just link them. That way if I increase time for one task
the entire schedule moves out. Now, I have run into a
problem were I'll have to use a start on date on one task
and the program does not move the rest of the tasks out
like it should. I have the tasks linked but the dates do
not change based on the previous task that is contrainted
to start on a certain date. Has anyone else found this
problem?

Best Regards,

Jason

Hello Jason,

What parameters have you there :
- Tools / Options / Calculation : Calculation mode : Automatic
- Tools / Level Resources... / Leveling calculations : *NOT* automatic

Jason,
Two other things to add to what Gerard metioned. Firs, are you
absolutely sure none of the successor tasks has a constraint? Display
the "Constraint Type" field just to be sure. Second, do any of the
successor tasks have a non-zero % Complete (i.e. Actual Start is
something other than "NA")?
