Ok, I'll try again.....

I am an expert user and I'm heavily involved in the local
and global MPUG groups. I get asked this question VERY
often by P3 and SureTrak users that have come over from
the dark side to MSP2K. (I offer free help to these
newcomers by phone and email as a public service to
promote the use of Microsoft Project, especially to those
struggling with the transition.)

Primavera and SureTrak both have a feature that allows one
to 'jump' from a task forwards or backwards to each of its
predecessors or successors in the order of their
succession. Is there a standard feature or an available
subroutine that when run will allow the user to 'jump' to
a task's predecessors/successors, in the order of their ID
#'s (MSP2K)?

Thanks........Tommy Lovelace

Hello Tommy,
In Ms Project, you can find a special view which help to do that :
View / More views / Dependencies graph ?
In french it's called "Schéma des dépendances"

Hope this help,

Hi Tommy,

I prefer to View/Network Diagram. Then Window/Split. Now click on the
lower pane to make it active and then View/More Views.../Relationship
Diagram/Apply. Now, as with any split screen in Project, the lower pane is
a filter of what you select in the top pane. So, select a task and this
will show in the bottom pane with its links. Use the cursor arrows to get
around the links, using the ID numbers to find the pathway - don't forget to
click in the appropriate pane first to make it the active one. You could
also use the Gantt Chart in the top pane.

Great advice for me since I'm using 2002, and I thank
you. I am always humbled by MSP since the learning is a
never-ending process by its users, novice to advanced.
However, my esteemed colleagues are still struggling with
2000, which is why I was wondering if a little subroutine
would be easiest. But, you've given me a couple of great
ideas. I'll cook up a procedure or two and macro/button it
and help them put it on their toolbars.

Once again......Thanks......Tommy

PS: If you happen to come up with a little sub that will
facilitate this, I would love to see it, just to give me a
little jump start......thanks!

You're welcome, Tommy In fact, it works the same in 2000 and 2002.

This works great. I've been stuck on P3 for 10 months.
It's so GOOD to be back on MSP again! Thanks...Tommy
