Hi Dave,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup :-)

You can't link the rolled up part of the milestone, but if you expand the
summaries to show the milestones, you can link them as normal. Project will
then obey the link, though if you close down the summaries the link will not
appear.

FAQs, companion products and other useful Project information can be seen at
this web address: <http://www.mvps.org/project/>

Hope this helps - please let us know how you get on :-))
