Filter or Macro help for Predcessor & Successors

[Steve]

I have a large project with many linked tasks driving the effort. I'm
killing myself scrolling up and down the screen. What I want to build is a
filter or macro that will produce a filtered view of the active task and only
the immediate linked predecessors and successors of that task. I would
appreciate some guidance. Thanks,
Steve

Hi Steve,

You may want to take a look at the macros posted by Project MVP Jack
Dahlgren at:

I believe the "Trace" macro will do as you describe.

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

Steve,
In addition to what Julie mentioned, you could also use the Relationship
Diagram view. It might be a little more convenient when used as the
lower pane of a split view with the Gantt on top.

Thank you John. Didn't know that view existed. It's helpful in that it
gives a clean picture of the immediate links.

Thank you Julie, great it was what I was looking for. It's much more elegant
than I could have wished for.

You're welcome for the reference Steve and thanks for the feedback. I'm
sure Jack will love to hear his macro is "elegant"
