(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.
Hi, guys
I'm not good at MSP software.
how can define a task that last from start of project to finish of project??
I know that in p6, we can change the activity type to Level Of Effort, but What about MSP, how can I define this activity??
regards

The paste-links seem a bit more robust in newer versions than they were in 2003, but it's still a patchwork approach. Past experience mostly cured me of my desire for hammocks in MSP. Now on the few occasions I can't do without, I use alternate methods that don't give me a big headache....
I agree with Mike. This sounds like the best solution. I am still learning to use MSP and this forum will definitely help.
1) Set up & logically link normal start & finish milestones for the start and finish of your project.
2) Copy the Start field of your start milestone, then right click on the start field of your "level of effort" task, choose paste special > paste link
3) Do the same with the finish date from your finish milestone
4) Put something in the notes column explaining what you did, as the start & finish milestones won't register as predecessors of the "level of effort" task
This is For MSP 2003. There may be a cleaner way in later versions.
Hi Shima
Create a summary bar over all the tasks and label it your task long activity.
Best regards
