I'm interested in your comment that 'using the concept of master and

this subject and its pitfalls?
Thanks,
Kelly.

I have never used this feature with MS Project and wanted to know what your experiences - good and bad - are while using this feature. Additionally, is there a reference book covering this topic in depth you'd recommend.
