Hello Ahmed and Jhorbam,

a much easier way of doing:

open all the MSP schedules you want to link tasks between,

click Window, New, and select all the necessary files; MSP will build a new project with all the selected individual projects included

link the tasks by using the mouse; do not enter the predecessor number in the Predecessor column, as MSP would link the tasks in the same project

Hi, is very easy...is like create a local link...i sugest you before all place all the files in the same directory. After that, open the file where you wanna start to create the external links and select the activity to create the link (to here, all is normal ok), when you have the window open only in the ID field write the full path, and the file, and the id of activity that you wanna link...by example:

Path =

File 1= Plan1

File 2= Plan2

Ok, i wanna link the activity 25 of the File2 into the 4 activity of the File1...ok then, i have to open the File1 and select the Activity 4 and double click to open the task information window and selecte predecessor tab...in the field ID i write this:

c:\planner\File2.mpp\25

And this is all!!!!
