Once a project is under way, you will typically set at least one actual date. Until you do, MacProject II uses the Earliest Start and Earliest Finish dates for the actual dates. 

When you’ve added one or more actual dates, MacProject II recalculates the rest of the actual dates using the same type of forward pass used for planned dates.

MacProject II begins with the Earliest Start you supply for the first task; if you do not supply one, MacProject II uses the first working day of the current year in the Project Calendar. (This is the project start date.) The duration of the first task is added to its Earliest Start to get its Earliest Finish.

The date for the first task’s Earliest Finish is then used as the next task’s Earliest Start. The duration is added to that date to yield its Earliest Finish, and so on to the last task in the schedule. (If

any task is dependent on more than one task, MacProject II takes the latest Earliest Finish from those tasks as its Earliest Start.)
