How do I set task-to-task predecessor type (FS, FF, SS, SF) and lead/lag when importing using a tab-delimited file and an import map? MSP 2010

I am now creating an MSP file from Excel by creating a tab-delimited file in Excel and calling MSP. A macro in MSP creates the import map and imports the tab-delimited file. The current tab-delimited file uses the Predecessors field to set dependencies. I now want to add the capability of setting dependency type (FF, SF, etc.) and lead/lag time. How do I do that?

    Hi,

    The format of the dependency is (f.i.) 45FF+3d

    FS,FF,SS,SF are the possible dependency types. Negative lags are possible.

    Greetings,

    Jan,

    Thank you for the tip. the solution was so obvious that I was looking right past it!! I aprpeciate the help. I also found that the LinkTasksEdit method can be used if I want to do this through a macro.
