how to add a link between 2 tasks in ms project

[linsen]

i have an issue. there are 2 projects and each project has some 5 subtasks.
in the second project i want to set a link between 2 tasks and did it using
the function LinkPredecessors. but in the result, the link was formed between
the task in the second project and a task in the first project, because both
of them had the same names. but actually i want the link between the tasks in
the second project. please help me out.

linsen,
It sounds like your code is using a task object form one file as the
"expression" part of the syntax and a task object from the second file
as the "Tasks" object of the syntax, although it's not clear why the
code would even be able to access objects from both files, unless
perhaps you were trying to do this in a master file. Check your code and
make sure it is pointing to the correct task objects.

No, i am using a single mpp file. There is a project and has some sub tasks.
After that another project and it's subtasks. The first project has a task
named task1 and the second project also has a task named task1. Now the issue
is this. The second project has a task called task2. I want to set a link
between the tasks "task1" and "task2" in the second project and i set the
relation like this:-
project.Tasks["task2"].TaskDependencies.Add(project.Tasks["task1"],PjTaskLinkType.pjFinishToStart,Missing.Value ).
But in the mpp file, the relation was set between the "task1" in the first
project and the "task2" in the second project. But i want the relation to be
set between the "task1" and "task2" in the second project. Please give a
solution

Linsen,
OK, your first mistake is to have identical task names in more than one
place. In fact those tasks are different - one belongs to project 1 and
the other belongs to project 2. Each task should have a unique task name
shared by no other task and if you are putting more than one project
into a single file, then each task must have a unique task name within
that whole file. Do that and your problem will go away.

Hello Alex from Mexico, this is Andrew in South Texas. I guess that sort
of makes us neighbors.

You need to create a master project to create interproject links. You have
two ways to accomplish that:

1) In the Project Center view, select the projects you would like to link
by clicking on the square to the very left of the row. Then select Edit.
The projects will open in Microsoft Project.
2) Open Microsoft Project, in a new project, select the Insert option, and
Insert the Projects you need into the master project.

Add links as needed.

Now for the important part....

When you save the changes, select "No" to save your new project. Immediately
after that prompt, it will ask you to save the subprojects, click yes on
that. Then you will have your interproject links.
