Re: Static ID for activities
Thanks Jan,
But I was looking for Static ID predecessors & Static ID Successors. Static
ID being a customised field, let's say text1. e.g when I input in text1
value as E3082 to one activity & link it to another with text1 value S5096
activity with a lag of say 5 days, the successor to first activity should
show S5096FS+5days on the Gantt Bar.
I hope I have emphasized my Qn now.

Re: Static ID for activities
Hi,
You would have to write a program in VBA to make someting the like.
Why not use Unique ID which is built for the prupose?
