Hi,

I have a set of recurring tasks that cover a five year period. Some of the tasks are legislative deadlines that are absolute final dates. Currently Project will choose the first working day following (i.e. the next Monday).

How do I set Project to choose the first working day before this cut off, and not the first working day after?

regards
Guy

What technique did you use to create the deadline dates for the recurring tasks? (Project uses the day following what date?)

Actually, your question may have provided the answer I need. I'll check it out.

To answer you, I didn't set a deadline, I set up a date for the task to recur on, based on a Government programme here in NZ. However, when I set that up I did not return to it and make it into a deadline. I'll try that and see what happens.

kind regards

Followup - yes, it was the deadline issue. The Default was set to "Start no earlier than" rather than "Must finish on".

Thanks for the direction to head in!
