Task dependencies

How do I create a dependency between the start of one task and the finish of another?

RE: Task dependencies

Hello Don

Thankyou for your question

If I understand you correctly you wish to create a Start to Finish dependency

First create a finish to start dependency in the normal way, i.e select the tasks to be linked and then click on the link button on the main toolbar.

If you then double click on the link line between the two tasks the link properties dialog will come up and you can then change the link type to start to finish in the type drop down box

Hope this helps

Stephen

MS Project tip:

Avoid Accidental Constraints

The initial default table is the Entry table. Enter a task name and duration, but do not enter start or finish dates. Form the plan using links, predecessors. Typing dates introduces constraints. To remove these constraints, double click on a task, and on the Advanced page of Task Information set the constraint back to As Soon As Possible (all other options are there too.)
