Level of Effort tasks

We have resourse loaded tasks that start from the beginning of a given task and run to the end. So what we need to do is create a start to start and finish to finish dependency. Can this be done?

If I understand you correctly, you have a Given task and tasks T1 and T2.

T1 has a dependency from the Given task. (Let's assume it's task T0).
T2 must start when T1 starts.
T2 must finish when T1 finishes.

1. Do not create a dependency between T1 and T2.

2. Click on the Start date of T1 and press Ctrl+C to copy the value.
3. Click on the Start date of T2.
4. Click on Edit | Paste Special and click on the radio button "Paste Link"

5. Click on the Finish date of T2 and press Ctrl+C to copy the value.
6. Click on the Finish date of T2.
7. Click on Edit | Paste Special and click on the radio button "Paste Link"

If the Start of T1 changes then the Start of T2 will automatically change.
If the Finish of T1 changes then the Finish of T2 will automatically change.

Should item 6 be "Click on Finish date of T1", and not T2
