Larry Thanks a Bunch. I am using MS Project 2010, and I tried to create external links using the followng steps

I created a folder called Prototype:

I created 2 MPP files in that folder.

One was called a “Program File”.

The second file was called a “release plan”

In order to create an external link I did the following:

In the “program file” I created a Task called “Tollgate Review” (The same name task as the predecessor)

Then I clicked on the “information” icon,

Clicked in Predecessor

in the ID: I Typed ” release plan<ID no of the task>

In the predecessor it does show “External Link” but when I clicked “ok” nothing happens.

Do I need to do something else? or am I missing a step?

Thanks
