Thanks for the post back.

 

I have check both the late and early exertnal finishs but the coloumns are blank.

The scheduling options is not ticked but i dont beleive the schedule will be affected by these links.

 

from what i understand my collegue has copied the WBS so all my activities have successor to their project but that is it, so they are all open ends.  It is just very confusing going to the successor box and seeing 15 links in that are of no use.

 

i can go through and delete but i have 2500 activities in my schedule to check.

Now do the same thing for the External Early Finish Column

Option #3

Where  (leave this line blank)

then

External Early Start = (leave the rest of the line blank)
