Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Cheers Will,

I eventually got it sorted by unticking the "shown external" boxes

Tony,
Project creates a ghost task when linking between projects is this what you are seeing? If it is go to Tools/Options/ on the view tab you will see that there are tick boxes for "Show external predecessors" and "Show external successors" unticking these might be the answer to your problem. Let us know if it is.
