Hi Prasad,

I think you will still find many of the folks who respond to questions on
this forum still work with MS Project 2000. If you are looking for a
refresher, you may wish to visit Mike Glen's series of articles about
Project at:

Please let us know if you have specific questions we can help you out with.

Remember in "The Graduate" when Benjamin Braddock's father's friend
pulls him aside at the party and says, "Plastics"? I can't be quite
that brief, but you can definitely start by doing the following:
Tools, Options
Schedule Tab
"Autolink inserted or moved Tasks"
TURN THIS FEATURE OFF and click Set as Default

This will save you time down the road a bit.

Hope this helps in your world.
