P6 Professional 8.2 Easiest way to get a successor report that lists the Succesor Activity Name in addition to just the ID?
(P3 could do this 20 years ago, it would be crazy if this newer more expensive software would not be able to do it somehow right?) Or what is the best add-on to do this - this is really basic stuff to help a team build a schedule without having to look at the screen correct? How can this not be an option? Trying to hunt around matching activities to ID is crazy...I can do it in Excel or a Database convert to and back from p3 but I would think there is an easier way out there...I also have an add-on that get half way there...but I lose the option to throw some locations activity codes next to them...Is the EPPM any better at this, can I just pull it up in there to print a report?
Hi John
My comments on concatenation in your earlier thread may solve your problem.

I have .XER but the problem is that the relationship report that it creates does not give you the WBS or any codes and those are necessary to make any sense out of the activities on the particular schedules I am doing - again I can program around it but don't think that is my most efficient option....It is faster using a P6 custom report which doesn't let you add codes but does give you the WBS. - The strange thing about that P6 report though is that it only gives 1 relationship per activity...I assume I am missing something - there has to be a way for it to show ALL of the relationships but I haven't figured it out yet...I am thinking the best solution will be to copy the P6 HTML info into excel and then apply a report writer to it - just to get some professional looking formating...any suggestions on free or inexpensive report writers...I have Access on my machine...but only have time for one learning curve so I am wondering if there are better...-I am a long time user but used to do these a different way...but am trying to get up to date and use best practices.
Dear john,
I use XER toolkit for the same and recommend you to use it!
