Hi,
I have project files that are connected to other files. When I change a
location of a file, it keeps the old connection in the predecessor/successor
field and creates the new ones automatically. How can I delete the old links
at once or maybe even define that the ms-project won’t copy them when moving
a file?
Thanks,
Assaf.

I can think of one or two things to try.
When you save the project to a new location make sure that the other file is open and the links should automatically update.
To ensure that MS Project automatically accepts changes to linked files on opening check the ‘Automatically accept new external data’ check box (Tools > Options View). This option is a little risky as I personally would always want to know what changes have occurred.
The last option I can think of at the moment is going through the external dependencies and having a look to see if there any changes to the external predecessors / successors (Tools > Links Between Projects) and accepting or deleting links.
Regards,
Darren
