Batch remove links

[project newby]

Hi,

Does anybody know how to remove the link between lots of tasks in one
go? At the moment I am having to select each taks individually and
remove the link, very time consuming.

Thanks

Create a filter that leaves only those tasks whose links you want to
remove. Normally, I'd just use an unused custom flag field. Using a
table that has Predecessor and/or Successor fields in it, depending on
what you want to delete, filter for that flag. Delete all Predeccessors
and/or Successors.

Hope this helps in your world.

Hi project newby,

Have you tried selecting the tasks and using the Unlink Task button on
the Standard toolbar?

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.
