There is a task that has a predecessors which can complete at various times
during the day, based on it's predecessors. How can I make this particular
successor task start at the beginning of the next day, no matter when the
predecessor finishes? Thanks.

Create a dummy predecessor with a short duration (a minute, an hour,
something like that)
Create a calendar which has working time which does not occur at the same
time as the regular calendar.
Assign that calendar for the dummy predecessor task.
Put the dummy task just before the task you want to start the next day.
Now, if the first task finishes the dummy task will have to happen next
(which can only happen at the end of the day or early morning however you
have scheduled it) and then the task will start first thing in the morning.
