Re: Task Dependency

Julie S: Under tools>tracking>Save Baselines ~ I do have it saved for the
entire project.

Steve House: When I am talking about two different projects - I mean two
entirely separate task lists, each in its own mpp file. To better explain you
what I am doing: We have lot of projects with running with separate task list
and we are linking the the task to a Global Master. And on the global master
the start date and finish date gets updated but not the Baselines.

thank you
