Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

kp,

You can do this but it is not straightforward.

You can copy a cell in MSP and then paste the content as a link into another cell (through paste special, paste link)

Just copying a date into the destination cell won't work because that will normally just impose a constraint and not change the duration.

Cleaver use of formula's in combination with the above links will probably get you there, but remember MSP gets 'nervous' from these links as it keeps recalculating/updating continuously.

H.T.H.
