Split Resume constraints

[Conrad Santiago]

Is there a way to apply a constraint to the resume portion of a split task?

For example, if I know the task will not be ready to resume until next
Wednesday, how can I keep the resume from sliding back to Tuesday or earlier?

I haven't been able to link a milestone to the resume portion of a task and
the Constraint Date/Type only applies to the task as a whole.

Thanks for any advice in advance.

Conrad,
The only way I know to do what you want is with VBA. Start and Stop
times for a split task are not available as fields in a view but they
are available as properties of the SplitParts collection object and
therefore they can be controlled with VBA.

Probably not the answer you wanted but at least there is a way to do it.
