Lesson 5 - Working With Multiple Projects

NOTE You can also link projects in the master project by pointing to the Gantt bar for the predecessor and dragging it to the Gantt bar for the successor. You can also create a link to a task in an external file by opening both files and double-clicking the task whose predecessor is located in the other file. Select the Predecessors page in the Task Information dialog box, select the ID field, and type the file name and task ID in the following format: project name\task ID# . If you were linking to task 4 in the home file, you would enter home\4 in the ID field. After you close the Task Information dialog box, a task representing the link to the external task appears in gray before the task. If the external file is not open, you must include the full path and filename (including the .mpp extension) in the ID field. You can remove links in any file by selecting the Project ribbon and the Links Between Projects command to open the Links Between Projects dialog box. To remove the link, select the linked task on the appropriate page and then select the Delete Link button.
