summary tasks and linking not working

[Viadelprado]

I just loaded project and started simple task and neither summary task or
linking works

I put in summary on line1
t1 on line two - duration 3 days
t3 on line 4 duration 2 days

I then indent lines 2 and 3 and line 1 summary only shows 1 day duration

I also link lines 2 to 3 and the start date on line 3 does not change

Is there a setup that I'm missing

Hi Viadelprado,

Check that your calculation is set to automatic. Tools > Options,
Calculation tab.

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

Try hitting the F9 key. Sounds like project is not set to automatically
recalculate.
To fix it permanently, go to tools menu / options / calculation tab and set
for automatic calculation.

It sounds like your calculation mode may be set to manual. Try going to
<Tools><Options><Calculation Tab> and set the "Calculation Mode" to
Automatic. Alternatively, if you would like to keep the calculation mode to
manual you can simply hit <F9> to force a manual calculation (make sure that
the MS Project file is the active window - simply click anywhere in the
window).
