Links between subtasks seen in summary tasks

Hi,

In a project, I have 2 summary tasks, SUMMARY 1 and SUMMARY 2.
Each one contains subtasks.
I can see the Gant bars of the subtasks in the bars of the summary tasks,
even when the summary tasks are collapsed.

The problem :

If I link a subtask from SUMMARY 1 to a subtask in SUMMARY 2, I cannot see
the link between the reported gant bars of these subtasks when the two
summary tasks are collapsed.

Is there a way to see this link ?
(i.e. a way to see the link between the reported gant bar of the subtask1 in
the summary 1 and the reported gant bar of the subtask 2 in the summary 2).

I hope it's clear...

Any suggestion ?

Thank you in advance,

Bernard

Bernard,
Sorry, link lines can only be seen directly from the subtasks and if you
think about it, that makes sense. If link lines appeared on collapsed
Summary Lines, it would be total confusion - no way to tell what
subtask, rolled up to the summary, the link was connected to. If you
want to see link lines, fully explode all Summary Lines.

Hope this helps.
