Start and Finish dates determined by links, dynamic duration   
I need to show a "provide on-call support" task for several support teams for 
an IT project.
The start of this on-call support for my project is linked to the start 
date/time of the first activity on the cut over weekend.
The end is determined by the finish date/time of the last activity on the 
cut over weekend.
Thus, the actual duration is dynamic so I want it calculated.

I've added predecessors as "xFS, yFF" (where x and y are task ids), just 
need to be told what option I flick (there are so many) to enable this 
dynamic duration....

Re: Start and Finish dates determined by links, dynamic duration   
Long Haired Git,

Have a look at the Hammock  Task FAQ:
http://project.mvps.org/faqs.htm#Hammock%20Tasks
NB : check that the task Type is *not* Fixed Duration.
Hope this helps,

Gérard Ducouret
