Linking programmes

Can programmes be linked together?

RE: Linking programmes

Hi Chris

Yes they can. A quick way to do this is to create a new blank project. From the insert menu choose Insert Project and browse to find the first file you would like to insert. Then repeat the process for a second project.

With both inserted projects visible in your new Gantt chart click and drag between the task bars you wish to link (you can always double click on the new link and change it for the type of relationship that is appropriate)

From the file menu choose save and you will be prompted to save each individual project.

I hope this helps - do let us know if you need further info.

Kind regards,

Andrew


 

MS Project tip:

Keep constraining dates to a minimum

As far as possible avoid fixing the dates of your tasks. For example try to steer of clear dragging task bars in the Gantt chart to move them on the timeline or entering dates directly into the Start / Finish fields.

Date constraints such as these limit Microsoft Project's ability to automatically adjust your project whenever you add, remove or modify the duration of your tasks. Instead use the logic in your task dependencies that link your tasks to enable Project to calculate the start and finish dates for you.
