How to prevent splits

I am getting a lot of splits in my projects. Project seems to calculate the tasks and put splits in without my knowledge. I am sure there's a setting that I inadvertently set that allowed this behavior. Would somone tell me what I would need to do in order to stop Project from calculating and putting splits into the tasks without me knowning? Greatly appreciate the help.

Hi Deluth

check - tools / level resources (or resource leveling depending on version)
.. 1st make sure that automatic is not on and also then if you use this tool
manually untick the last tick box.

cheers

Deluth,
Take a look at Tools/Options/Schedule tab. There is an option in the
lower portion of the schedule options window for "split in-progress
tasks". The default is a check for this option. Depending on which
version of Project you have, select the help topic to get an explanation
of what "split in-progress tasks" means. I think you will find that some
of your tasks are being split because a successor task is being
performed ahead of its predecessor (based on one of your other posts).

Hope this helps.
