PRJ: Task Moves Unexpectedly When Dragging a Task to a New Date
This article was previously published under Q178184
In Microsoft Project, when you drag a task to a new date, the task may not
remain at the date you dropped it on, but moves to a future date instead.
This behavior occurs when a resource calendar has exceptions (nonworking
time) for a period that is set as Working time in the project calendar. For
example, a new project has a task with a resource assigned, but the
resource calendar has a week set as Nonworking.
When you drag the task that the resource is assigned to a day that is set
as Nonworking, the task moves to the next possible working day, and no
message appears.
A task cannot be scheduled during a period when the resource assigned to it
has nonworking time.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the versions of Microsoft
Project listed above.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
