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:

Using the Quick Access Toolbar in Project 2010

The Quick Access Toolbar is included in virtually every Office product, including Project 2010 as well as Outlook 2010, Word 2010, Excel 2010, and PowerPoint 2010.

You will find the Quick Access Toolbar in the top-left side of the window. To begin, click the Customize button (it's the little black arrow at the end of the toolbar).

Simply click the commands you want to include.

Virtually any command can be added to the Quick Access Toolbar. Click the More Commands option and a new window will open from where you can browse the commands including those not on the ribbon.
