Linking tasks

[JFrancisco]

I have a lot of tasks that need a SS link. Is there a way to change the
default dependency set by the "link tasks" button on the toolbar? If I have
to go back to each one to change it from the default FS to SS, I just as well
manually enter all of them.

Thanks

JFrancisco,
As far as I know the default FS cannot be changed. However the following
simple macro will do what you need as long as there is only one
predecessor per task. Multiple predecessors can be handled, but the code
gets more complex:

Sub ChangePredType()
For Each t In ActiveProject.Tasks
If Not t Is Nothing Then
If t.Predecessors <> "" Then
t.Predecessors = t.Predecessors & "SS"
End if
End If
Next t
End Sub

Hope this helps.
