Can't indent - would create a circular relationship

[luke.afcb]

Hi

Haven't been using Project 2002 for long, but I'm having problems
indenting a subtask, I get the following message:

"This outline change would create a circular relationship"

It advises checking the task's dependencies but to be honest I'm not
sure what I should be checking for. Any help would be magic.

Cheers

Most likely, one of the tasks that you're trying to indent is linked to
the summary line you're trying to indent it under. Select the summay
line, then switch to the Network Diagram view. You may have to zoom out
to see the link clearly. If there's a line connecting one (or more than
one) of the tasks and the Summary line, double click in the link and
select Delete. This will remove the link.
Most of us here strongly recommend against liking Summary lines to
tasks. This is one of many reasons.
Hope this helps in your world.
