Critical path

Do task calendars affect the critical Path? I have a project that uses a 24
X 7 task calendar for a small number of tasks. That section seems to
dissapear from teh critical path view.


Any thoughts?

Hi Ripper,

Yes, the task calendars can affect the critical path :
Task A and Task B are linked by a finish to start link.
Task A is working with the 24h x 7 calendar
It is scheduled to finish on Monday at 17:00 (but it could drift until 09:00
on Monday)
Task B is working with the Standard calendar. So it can't start before 8:00
on Thuesday.
So Task A has a slack of 15 hours.
