Hello,
I have a few problems that I am encountering with MS Project 2003, and I was wondering if you can provide any insight for me? I have not had to do an Master Project yet with dependencies across subprojects, and I am trying to figure out how to do it because I can see this occurring really soon. Is the best way to do this to add the external predecessors/successors in the individual subprojects first and then insert the individual subprojects into the master project? The problem that I am encountering when I do this is once I insert the subprojects into the master project (by going to "Insert" --> "Project"), the external links still appear in the predecessors/successors columns, but then when I go to "Tools" --> "Links Between Projects" nothing appears in the dialog box as the external successor/predecessor.
Another problem that I am having, when I insert the subprojects in the master project, is the task number seems to go away for the tasks that it is linked to. I have tried to insert the individual subprojects by clearing the "Link to Project" box but then this adds the linked task twice to the individual subproject.
The last problem that I am having is once I have added in the external predecessors/successors in the individual subprojects and I save and close the files, the next time I open the file, the dialog box with the external predecessors/successors does not appear. The only way that I can see the dialog box is by going to "Tools" --> "Links Between Projects". I also went to "Tools" --> "Options" --> "View" and made sure that "Show Links Between Projects Dialog on open" is checked, and it is.
Any help that you can provide would be much appreciated!
