How to show the resource on the successor (e.g. for work handoff )

[johnb at trp]

On a tight project, I want the person on one task to see who to handoff their
work to next. It's easy to show the successor task ID, but I want to show the
successor resource name also (on the same line as the current task).

I don't know how to show the successor resource. You could use one of the 30
text fields to copy and paste to. Or type in a persons name.

Hi,

This can be programmed in VBA BUT then you need some thinking. What if a
task has more than one successor?

Such a procedure could look like this:

Sub Show SuccReso()
dim Job as task
for each job in activeproject.tasks
if not job is nothing then
if job.successortasks.count>0 then
job.text1=job.successortasks(1).resourcenames
end if
end if
next job
end sub

Alt+F11, Insert, Module, paste teh macro above, close VB Editor, the macro
is available.
