Predecssors are not following on in dates

I am setting predecessors but the dates are not following on or corelating accordingly and am unsure why?

RE: Predecssors are not following on in dates

Hello Ryan,

Thank you for your question. Without the benefit of seeing your project, my best guess is that the 'Calculate project after each edit' option in your Project app is turned off.

To fix this, please do the following:
Click File > Options > Schedule. Scroll down to 'Calculation'.
Make sure that the 'On' option is selected.

If this doesn't solve your issue, please use the forum again for further assistance.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards

MS Project tip:

Link tasks using predecessor column - project

a. First, note ID number of the task you want to link to (predecessor). Then, in the predecessor column of the task you want to link to (successor), type the predecessor task's ID number.
b. The link will be a Finish to Start (the default type).
c. Or you can add in a code for a different relationship type
i. SS = Start to Start
ii. FF = Finish to Finish
iii. SF = Start to Finish
d. You don't have to type the task ID numbers in any specific order, but you must separate multiple tasks with commas.
