BTW, I tried making SubProject 2 dependent on SubProject1 so that 2 wouldn't show up in my To-Do till 1 was finished. (I have a The Filter's Setup set to show only (Not (HasINcommpleteDependency))
That works ONLY if you've defined SubProject1 as a *project* before you make it a dependency for SubProject2 (because that means SubProject2 is dependent on ALL tasks in SubProject1. If SubProject1 were just a task then it's sub tasks aren't dependencies). I think this will work but it would be nice to maintain the outline structure so that sub projects could just be tasks. -Clay On Nov 2, 12:47 pm, "Mr. Analogy" <[email protected]> wrote: > As I break a project down, it always seems that it's really a bunch of > smaller projects (sub projects).
