Link a task to an end date
Hi there,
I have a project which has a number of tasks. One of the tasks will take 7 days and I want to make it start 7 days prior to the end of the project.
Where I make changes to other tasks in the project the end date moves, hence the need to create a link between the aformentioned task and the finish date.
Look forward to your assistance.
Regards,
Mike.

we cover this on our project intro, I suggest you ring the office and maybe book a course at one of our special rates.

RE: Link a task to an end date
Hi David,
I have already attended the basic and intermediate courses at Best training earlier this year. I have reviewed the information I was given at the course but am unable to identify what I need to do.
Hope you can help.
Regards,
Mike.

Sorry but you was flagged up as attending "NO COURSES".!!!!
You may want to get this rectified...
Have you tried using a "Must start on constraint? for the task in question?

MS Project tip:Typing Links Between TasksIn the Entry table, use the Precessors column to type in links. Type the previous task's ID to link. To change the link, add FS (Finish-Start), FF (Finish-Finish), and so on, and + duration to add a Lag, or - duration for a Lead time. Example: for task 5, 4FS+1w ... task 4 preceeds task 5, finish to start, with a week lag between. |
