Dynamic Task in MS Project

[Luiz]

Does anybody knows how to implement a really dynamic task in MS
Project in the same sense it is implemented in Primavera? I mean, a
dynamic task is one that has at least one (1) real dynamic link as its
start or finish (or both).

A real dynamic link is one that automatically changes the duration AND
workload of a task when there are changes in the task date(s) of the
activity it is linked to. So, when a task is dynamically linked its
duration and work will automatically expand or retract according to
the changes occurred in its links.

This feature is extremely useful in effort-driven activities like
management, periodic meetings, reports, etc.

Thank you,

Luiz Cruz

Hi,

I think item 19 at http://project.mvps.org/faqs.htm is the closest you can
get.
