Start and Finish dates determined by links, dynamic duration

[Long Haired Git]

I need to show a "provide on-call support" task for several support teams for
an IT project.
The start of this on-call support for my project is linked to the start
date/time of the first activity on the cut over weekend.
The end is determined by the finish date/time of the last activity on the
cut over weekend.
Thus, the actual duration is dynamic so I want it calculated.

I've added predecessors as "xFS, yFF" (where x and y are task ids), just
need to be told what option I flick (there are so many) to enable this
dynamic duration....

Long Haired Git,

Have a look at the Hammock Task FAQ:
http://project.mvps.org/faqs.htm#Hammock Tasks
NB : check that the task Type is *not* Fixed Duration.
Hope this helps,
