SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Project 98, when you run a Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications Sub procedure (or macro) to create cross-project links using either the LinkPredecessors method or the LinkSuccessors method, the method does not create cross-project links. Instead, it creates links within the source project.



WORKAROUND
Microsoft provides programming examples for illustration only, without warranty either expressed or implied. This includes, but is not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. This article assumes that you are familiar with the programming language that is being demonstrated and with the tools that are used to create and to debug procedures. Microsoft support engineers can help explain the functionality of a particular procedure, but they will not modify these examples to provide added functionality or construct procedures to meet your specific requirements. To work around this behavior, use the Predecessors or Successors property.

For example, to create a cross-project link between the first task of the active project and the first task of a project named Project2, use the following line of code: ActiveProject.Tasks(1).Predecessors = "Project2\1" -or-

If a predecessor/successor relationship already exists for a task and you need to create an additional link, use the following line of code: ActiveProject.Tasks(1).Predecessors = ActiveProject.Tasks(1).Predecessors & "," & "Project2\1"



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the versions of Microsoft Project listed at the beginning of this article.
