RE: Predesessor

Hi Angela,

Occasionally you may choose Project to calculate a schedule a slightly differently than it would do naturally based on what has happened before.

This code takes the predecessors of a selected tasks and figures out which is the one which will finish first. Then it applies negative lag to the dependencies between itself and the other predecessors.

Hope that makes sense

Tracy

Ms project tip:

Typing Links Between Tasks

In 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.
