automatically rescheduling task to start on the followng Monday

[joe]

I have a NATO client who needs tasks to be rescheduled for the following
Monday. Is there a macro that can be created for this?
ie I have a 4 day task that ends in three days.... I want the next task to
not start when the pred ends... but on the following Monday.
It's a weird question I know...but its govt related. Essentially if they
complete a task in 3-4 days they don't want the next task to begin until the
following week (monday). Your hard earned dollars at work!!

Joe,
Between the predecessor and the successor, introduce a dummy task of 1
minute for example (with FS-1m link for the Monday successor).
Create a new calendar with only 1 minute working Monday morning.
Assign this calendar to the dummy task : In the Task Information dialog,
Advanced tab

Hope this helps,

Adding to Gerads approach. We find it helpful to make that one minure of
work on the special calendar to be prior to the start of work on the normal
calendar. (Example: 07:58AM). This keeps the following task from pushing
into the next day (Wednesday) if it is 8 hours long.
