Programme Dependencies

[Dena]

I have set up a group programme plan by bringing together three project
plans. I now want to set up dependencies between the milestones in all three
plans from within the group plan
e.g
Plan 1
milestone 1
milestone 2
milestone 3

Plan 2
milestone 1
milestone 2
milestone 3

I want to make ms 2 from plan 2 dependant on ms1 from plan 1

How do I do this ?

The easiest way I can think of this early in the day is to put both
plans into a master file using Insert, Project. Then create the cross
project link the same way you create a normal link. Be careful. Once
you have linked these files, moving or renaming either will break the
link and could lead to instability in your files (does this sound like
a drug ad or what?).

Hope this helps in your world.

Dena,
I must be missing something because the solution is trivial - make
milestone 1 in plan 1 the predecessor of milestone 2 in plan 2. What am
I not understanding?
