Re: Remove a task from the critical path

Brian, thats right. The task is a "Project Management" task. I have added the
task in in so I can include my time in the estimated and actual cost figures.
My time is not on the critical path but it does span the entire project.
Thats why its a hammock task, linked to the end date.

Thanks
