Hi,
I am using MS Project 2000 and am trying the following:
I have a task and I want to plan it based upon the duration of another task (testwork for example).
So task 1 takes 100 hours and task 2 takes 25% of task 1 (so 25 hours in this case)...
..I could first calculate it but when I change the first number I have to change it everywhere in the planning..
..is this possible?
Thx

Oldest first- 0Forum Guest ·I am faily certain that the function you are looking for is not an inbuilt function of Microsoft Project 2000.
You could probably achieve something with a couple of milestones driven by successors with %lags and span them with a parent activity, but it would not be very elagant.

Altough were dutch, i will answer this in english. Best way to solve this problem is probably to set up a structure in which codes identify the related activities. In this way you can, after modifications to the schedule, run a macro to adjust related durations.
Its not a common solution but were both seeking new and creative alternatives, I guess!
