linking tasks in master_subprojects file

J

jackie

I have a master_sub project file where I have inserted individual project
files. I would like to link specific tasks between the various project files
and retain the changes in the master file without retaining the changes in
the source files. Is this possible?

Is there a report that I can use to show the impact of these
links/interdependencies?

Thanks

Jackie,
It sounds like what you want to create is a static master that retains
the subproject links. The only way to do that is with a VBA macro. I do
have a macro that will do that but it is not freeware. If you are
interested, write me direct at the address below.

With regard to the report, what type of "impact" information are you
seeking?

Thanks John, I will

As far as the report, I would like to be able to show how the
interdependencies between projects impact the overall timeline. For instance
if I link task A in the first sub project to task N in the 3rd sub project
and the duration for task A increases I would like to be able to show in a
report how that interdependency moves out task N and the overall timeline for
the programme. Hope this makes sense

Thanks again
J
