Project Version - Microsoft Office Project Professional 2003 SP2
I have two milestone tasks that are dependent on each other (Task A - - ->
Task B)
Start date of Task A is set by sequence of preceding tasks. Start date of
Task B is input by the user on project start-up. Start date of Task B
defines the finish date of Task A. In one sense, it appears that on project
start-up, duration of Task A is variable, based on start of succeeding task.
Once Task B is known and duration is figured out, the duration should be
fixed.
As project progresses and actual start and completion dates for preceding
tasks are known, I would like to have actual start date of Task A directly
affect actual start date of Task B.
Understandably, Microsoft Project uses a fixed formula to determine
duration, based on work and resources. If Microsoft project can't directly
perform the above, I would like to know some creative ways to make this
happen.
