external predecessors by macro

[GR_KIMON]

I am making a master project sheet that summarizes many similar sub
projects. Every sub project has internal predecessors. The sub projects use
the same recourse pool. I need to create external predecessors to some tasks
of the successor project to its predecessor project (for example the 2nd
project is related to the 1st and the 3rd project is related to the 2nd and
the 4th to the 3rd etc). This is easy if it is done manually but who can it
be done when you want to use a macro?
THE BIG PROBLEM IS THAT EVERY TIME YOU USE THE MACRO IT DESTROYS THE
INTERNAL PREDECESSORS BECAUSE IT DOSE NOT
ADD THE EXTERNAL PREDECESSORS TO THE INTERNALS. IT REPLACE THE ENTIRE
PREDECESSOR CELL OF ITS TASK WITH DE RECORDED ONE

please Help!!!

Hi,

You need to create a summary task (I suggest near the top) that represents
links to all external projects for ease of reporting and management. Then
link your tasks to these ones. Remember to baseline the external links and
add a deadline to represent dates you need them to finish by.
