When I use the SF dependency type the line I am working on doesn't use the target line's start date as a finish date, ideas?

    Without a screen shot, there (at least) two ways to interpret that:

    Β 

    Line working on = row2

    Target line = row1

    Β 

    1. The finish date of row2 should be one working day less than row1. Not the same.

    (I doubt that's what you meant)

    2. The date does not move at all

    - option 1: There is a predecessor in the parent row which causes some children to start at the same date as the parent row

    - option 2: You have dependencies turned off.

    Β 

    I suspect 2 option 1.

    Β 

    I hope that helps.

    Thanks, you got it. Β There was a predessor in a parent row that was causing the problem.

    Β 

    Thank you - that was boggling my brain a little.

    It did the same for me until I learned to look for it.

    You are welcome.
