Predecessor + 10 counts holiday

[CMG]

I have a task (#205) which is a milestone with the date
of 7/3, a subsequent milesotne task (#209) is linked to
task 205. The relationahip is such that it is 205 + 10.
The date then calculates as 7/17, instead of 7/18. It
seems that Project is not counting July 4th as a holiday,
even though the project calendar has it as a non-working
day. Why is this?

Please help!

Check the time of #205 (go to Tools-Options-View and select a date format
that includes time of day). Your example sounds right to me if the milestone
occurs at the beginning of the day. It then counts July 3rd as the first
working day and taking into account the 4th as a nonworking day, 10 days out
would put the next milestone on July 17.

Hello,

No, Poject does not have Anti-American behaviour in refusing to honour the
4th of July.
To understand what happens, Tools, Options, View, date Format, show time of
day.
You will now see that your second milestone is scheduled at the end of
working hours on the 17th.
Not an error but annoying, and I do not see an immediate remedy

If any of the two tasks had a nonzero duration all would be fine.

HTH
