Tracing Activity in HUGE Project

I work with a P6 Portfolio that has over 36000 activities in it. What I am struggling to do is determine if activity "A" is associated with activity "Z" because there are sometimes 500+ predecessor/successor activities and the Trace Logic tool is cumbersome. Does anyone know of an easy way to take 2 activities and run some sort of report to determine if they are linked?

And perhaps in a batch functionality...?

Noah,

Besides exporting to excel and trying to trace the logic there as Zoltan suggests, I would consider creating a circular logic link between the two activities, then try to re-schedule.  P6's error handler will then show you the connections.  I wrote a primer about this trick Here, after learning about it in a LinkedIn discussion with Zoltan and others. 

Good luck, tom

I think the easiest way to do it is to select file export choose excel then only export the relationships. Then sort and filter this file in excel.
