    Irene,

    Simple answer is "no", at least if you are referring to the split task function in Project.

    Please note that a summary task is not really a task at all despite the name, rather it is a summary of the tasks under it. The start of a summary line is defined by the start of the earliest subtask and the finish of a summary line is defined by the finish of the latest subtask.

    You can "split" a summary by breaking the subtasks under it into two separate summary groups. That would effectively "split" a summary task.

    Hope this helps.

    John
