Hello ks2008,

The external predecessor/successor information should show in the 
predecessor field.  Double click on the external task and it will 
open the project containing the cross-project link.

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

Yes, if I click on the external task in proj01, it open the project(
proj02) containing the cross-project link. 
However Predecessors 	& Successors`	fields are empty ( see, proj 01).

Still I am not clear.
How I could view the link for the extranal task I created in proj01 ?
How I could say the task is an extranal task with out clicking on it ? 
and the link of that an external task.?

Note: Proj01 is the project conaining external task. 
Task # 13, 14 & 15 are external task in Proj01.


Proj01 
=====
ID	Project	Task name	Priority	Predecessors 	Successors`	Start
12	Tea01	Creamer		500						Wed 12/2/09
13	Tea01	get Sugar03	500						Tue 11/17/09
14	Tea01	Get Water03	500						Tue 11/17/09
15	Tea01	Get leaves03	500						Tue 11/17/09




Proj02
=====
13	Tea01	get Sugar03	500						Tue 11/17/09
14	Tea01	Get Water03	500						Tue 11/17/09

Thanks

Hi ks2008,

I think we may be talking about two different things.

There is a difference between external predecessors/successors and 
"links" which show up under the Edit > Links command.    The Edit > 
Links shows information linked through OLE (Object Linking and 
embedding) and is created through a copy/paste special, link 
command.  If you've created the "link" through copy/paste special, 
there will not be anything showing in the predecessor/successor 
field.  However, those types of links are *not* external 
predecessors and successors.

External predecessors/successors can be created by making a 
consolidated project, selecting the two tasks and clicking the Link 
Tasks button.  My guess is that you did not create external 
predecessors and successors.

If you have the option "Show external predecessors and successors 
selected" on the View tab of the Options dialog box, you should see 
both the external task in the Task table as well as the gray task 
bar showing in the Gantt chart.  You should also see the information 
in the predecessor or successors field.  See Help on creating links 
between tasks in different projects.

From your description, it appears as though you may have created 
"links" through a copy/paste link command and not through the 
creation of external predecessors and successors.

I hope this helps.

Julie
