Working with Customized fields

M

Matt

I am trying to create a customized field that references another field for a
different task; for example, when all a task's predecessors are 100%
complete, I want to flag the original task.

I am having trouble with this reference. Any suggestions?

You cannnot do this in a custom field. You would need VBA for this. The
Developer newsgroup would be a good place to ask about this. I think Jack
D has some code like this...

Brian is absolutely correct. Custom field formulas can only reference the
task they are based on. You can't reference other tasks.

And he is right that I have some code for this. Check out the "Ready to
Start" macro here:

You need to adjust the 80% to 100%, but it sounds like it does what you are
asking.
