Re: Critical path not showing through an activity with ed days

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

An activity with a positive, non-zero slack time is by definition non-critical. You keep saying the task is question is critical but by the formal definition of a critical task, it isn't. It could be delayed by up to 0.63 days before it becomes critical and begins to push on the successor task's start time.

I see. My activity (ed) ends at 17:00 and the next starts at 08:00 the next
day I checked the Total float and the ed act has 0.63ed. This leads to a
further question if I run a critical filter the ed activity will not be
selected, and a gap is shown between the critical activities with no links
between them - is there any way to show the ed activity as critical, or would
it be better to allocated a 7 day calendar to the cure activity.
