(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.
I need to put a task into a plan which starts on the date a predecessor finishes, and ends on the date a successor starts.
For example, the tasks I have are:
Handover to Client - Finish Milestone 1st December 2011
Rental Period
Handback from Client - Finish Milestone 31st December 2011
The Rental period needs to automatically show the start date as 1st December and the end date as 31st December - can this be done? I've tried assigning relationships but can't get it quite right as the duration is set - what is the easiest way of doing this?
Thanks!

Kate,
If you want the duration of the rental period to be defined by the milestones at either end, rather than being fixed, use a level of effort activity.
Cheers,

Hi Kate
Welcome to Planning Planet
Even in P6 this can be done.
Insert a task called Rental Period between Handover to Client and Handback From Client
Link FS between all 3 tasks
Set the duration of the Rental Period task to end on 30 Dec 2011.
Reschedule F9
Best regards
