RE: Slipping taks

Hi Bridget thank you for your question.

You can click on the task then from the Tools > Tracking menu choose Update Task. You can use the dialog box that appears to record actual work and remaining as well as actual start (and finish) information. Project will then redraw the task to reflect what took place.

I hope this helps do let us know if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,
Andrew

Ms project tip:

Link tasks using predecessor column - project

a. First, note ID number of the task you want to link to (predecessor). Then, in the predecessor column of the task you want to link to (successor), type the predecessor task's ID number.
b. The link will be a Finish to Start (the default type).
c. Or you can add in a code for a different relationship type
i. SS = Start to Start
ii. FF = Finish to Finish
iii. SF = Start to Finish
d. You don't have to type the task ID numbers in any specific order, but you must separate multiple tasks with commas.
