RE: Project

Hi Simon

the most straight forward way to do this is to create a new temporary project file and from the file menu choose Insert Project... and select the project files you would like to link. Once they appear in your new project file click and drag between the tasks that will connect the two projects to make dependencies. Close your project file and accept the changes to the inserted files. Your two projects are now linked.

Hope this helps - let us know if you have any further questions.

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.
