Rejecting changes to links between projects

A

Alex Angas

I have a user that is linking tasks between projects. They first link a task
between Project A and Project B. They then change the date for the linked
task in Project A and save and close it. When they open Project B, they
receive the dialog to either accept the change to their linked task or delete
the link.

What the user would like to do is not accept the change but still keep the
link. That is, they don’t want their task in Project B to have its dates
affected if they “don’t agree†with the change, but still want the link
there. They’ve also mentioned having some sort of workflow process where if
they don’t accept the change then the person that opens the other project is
notified.

I’m almost 100% sure the latter can’t be done. However is there a way around
their former requirement? They are using Project Server 2007.

Thanks for any ideas, Alex.

Alex:

If you don't want the dates to push, don't use task links. Instead, use the
deliverables feature. Understand that by using the deliverables feature and
linking to deliverables, that the Project Manager on the receiving end must
update the task start manually by adding an SNET constraint.

I installed Project Server 2007 and SQL2000, and yesterday I could update
task progress, but today when I open the task assignment details, the task
name, save and calculate again button is gray, and I can't update the task
progress, I didn't lock the task, and all of the tasks can't be updated, even
I login on with project manager account, I need help.
