Task that start and ends at same date that another task

[Carles]

I have two task (T1 & T2). How can I indicate than T1 have to start and
finish at the same date that T1?

Thank you.

Hi Carles,

There may be (rather dangerous) ways to do that through OLE links, but with
normal Project functions, no, sorry, no go.

Two tasks that must run entirely parallel. In effect you want SS and FF
constraints on both T1 and T2. That's a no go.

Here is a work around. I assume T0 is a predecessor to T1, so link it that
way FS. This establishes the start of T1.
Insert a milestone T1a as FS from T1 and 0 day duration. T1a now finishes
on the same day that T1 finishes.

Make T2 a Hammock Task. The start of T2 is linked to the start of T1, the
finish of T2 is linked to the finish of T1a. Creating a Hammock Task is
covered in the FAQ#19 at http://project.mvps.org/faqs.htm

T2 will now march with T1. Does that help?
