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.

Does anyone know if there a way that I can just show all the tasks that are linked.  Rather than having to go through the tasks individually?

@Mike Testro:

The first time I opened an MSP schedule, I noticed that you didn't have to link activities because MSP would follow the logic of Task 1 is succeeded by Task 2 and so on.  If you wanted any different relationships, you had to add them.

Insert predecessor and successor columns in the Gant Chart view. This lets you know that activities which have no links i.e. where predecessor and successor cell is blank. Just use filter option to filterout the activites which have no successor and predecessor.

Do you mean filter for activities linked to selected?

Better than leapfrogging.

I also find useful to filter for activities with links that are out-of-sequence and at the same time filter to display only those links.

Hi Yvonne

Why have you got tasks with no links - every task must have at least 1 predecessor and 1 sucessor excpet the first and last tasks.

There is probably a filter that selects tasks with no links.

Best regards

I must admit I don't understand your question, can you explain further ?
