predecessors and successors

[Ingrid]

I am using 4 project files linked to each other in a master
file. The predecessors and successors don't seem to have
any pattern for when they appear and when they don't. Eg.
a task in one project(project A) may have three successors
in another one (project B), yet only two show up in project
A in the task list of a gantt chart.


I've tried turning the "show external sucessors" on and off
in Tools>Options but this doesn't actually hide them all or
show them all - I still get some showing and some not
showing.

Any ideas how to get some consistency with these?

Thanks,
Ingrid

I think that if all the subprojects are expanded then you will see the
linkages.
But other than that, I find that they are somewhat capricious.
