Task Drivers Pan in project 2007 stops at external links

[sanju]

I am not able to see hyperlinks for predecessors in the Task drivers
pan that belong to a sub project in MS project 2007. Is there any way
to make this work?

Also I am not able to see the ghost tasks in master file even if I
turn on show external predecessor/successor options in tools ->
options-> view

I do have links from master to child and child to master and still the
ghost links don't display. I was thinking if I could display these
then may be clicking the ghost link would open the child project and
select the driving predecessor and I could use task drivers in that
file to proceed further.

Has anyone run into these issues? Appreciate any help.

Hello sanju,

My comments are inline.

I am not able to see hyperlinks for predecessors in the Task
drivers
pan that belong to a sub project in MS project 2007. Is there any
way
to make this work?

To the best of my knowledge, no.

Also I am not able to see the ghost tasks in master file even if I
turn on show external predecessor/successor options in tools ->
options-> view

Where are the ghost tasks? If the master project contains the
inserted tasks, than there are no "external" predecessor and
successor tasks -- they are all visible in the master project.

I do have links from master to child and child to master and still
the
ghost links don't display. I was thinking if I could display these
then may be clicking the ghost link would open the child project
and
select the driving predecessor and I could use task drivers in
that
file to proceed further.

If you open the "child" project alone, do you see the external
predecessors and successors back to the master?

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.
