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 of an easy way of removing all relationships (apart from a few select activities) from a plan of around 1000 tasks. At the moment it looks like going through every activity one by one and removing the links. Export/Import through excel is not an option because of the risk to data integrity.

Thanks in advance.

There is no risk to the integrity of data using the P3 import function as long as your data is correct. There is a technical article on my web site that explains how to import through Excel, but always back up you file before commencing.

To delete all the relationships in a P3 project I usually delete the ***REL.P3 and replace it with a file from a project that has no relationships and rename as required.
