When multiple predecessors, task not pushed to latest date

[Pat]

Hi - today, when I assigned multiple predecessors to a task, all finsh to
start, I was surpised to see that the dependent task didn't get pushed to the
latest finish date of the predecessors. I've only used 2003 for a short time
and used 98 a couple of years ago, but don't remember seeing that problem.
When I used just the predecessor with the latest date, it used that date, but
when I added another back in, the start date of the successor again moved to
start at an earlier date.
Can you help?

Pat,
Go to our MVP website at, http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm, and take
a look at FAQ 50 - Successor's start date is different from its
predecessor's finish date.

Hope this helps.
