Project ASAP/ALAP dates at the same time.

[mish]

I want to be able to see the ASAP dates and ALAP dates at the same time
without needing to make two passes. If ASAP date and ALAP dates are
different this means not crtical path task that can be performed anytime
within the difference window. For example if I want to schedule a constrained
resource it nice to be able to see the date range that will allow me to
succesfully finish the task and allow the scheduler of that equipment the
maximum flexiablity. Currently Project does allow you to create this date
range but to do so I must go and change all the constraint type and set the
Project inforamtion to the correct finish date and re-calculate. However it
is possible to see both at the same time without making two passes.

Hi Mish,

I think you are referring to Early Start, Early Finish and Late Start, Late
Finish. Project calculates all these fields as well as the amount of Slack
(float) using the forward pass, backwards pass method.

Take a look at the Schedule table to see LS, LF, Free Slack, and Total
Slack. You may also add any of those fields to any task table view with the
Insert column command.

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.
