Critical path for any task

[LynnH]

Whenever the critical path is calculated, it is calculated as the path with no slack that leads to the LAST (latest) task in the file. Is there any way to get the critical path for a task that is not the latest task?
Right now I'm doing it by deleting the later tasks, though I need to remember not to save the file after I do that!
thanks!

Hi Lynn,
If you really want to force critical (zero float) through a chain of activities, then you could create a milestone with a 'must start' constraint on the finish date of the last activity in the chain. Then link (f-s) the last activity to the milestone and it will show the chain critical. This is probably a little safer than deleting later activities.
