RE: Linking tasks in Project 2007
Hi Aldo
Thank you for your question
There are 3 main techniques for linking tasks
Method 1
Select both the predecessor and successor task, and then click on the link task button on the main toolbar. (This has a chain icon)
Method 2
Place your mouse over the task bar of the predecessor task and click and hold down the mouse button. You can then drag the mouse down and position it directly over the successor task and let go
Method 3
In the table part of the Gantt chart type the predecessor task's ID number in the predecessor column
Once the link is in place you can add lead and lag times as well as change the dependency type by double clicking on the link to open the task link dialog box
Regards
Stephen

MS Project tip:Inserting Task Durations QuicklyWhen entering durations for your tasks simply use the single letters - m for min, h for hr, d for day, w for week, but mon for month. If default is set for days, you need only type the number, for example 3 for 3days, or 0.5 for half a day. |
