Example
The following example prompts the user for a range of task identification numbers, and then links the tasks in the range from finish to start. This example assumes the ID range is valid, as well as the absence of any duplicate tasks, null tasks, consolidated projects, and so on.
Sub LinkFinishToStart()
Dim FirstID As String ' The ID number of the first task
Dim LastID As String ' The ID number of the last task
Dim NextID As Long ' The ID number of the next task to link
FirstID = InputBox$("Enter the ID number of the first task to link:")
If FirstID = Empty Then Exit Sub
LastID = InputBox$("Enter the ID number of the last task to link:")
If LastID = Empty Then Exit Sub
' Convert FirstID from String to Long, then "seed" the loop.
NextID = CLng(FirstID)
Do Until NextID = CLng(LastID)
LinkTasksEdit From:=NextID, To:=NextID + 1, Type:=pjFinishToStart
NextID = NextID + 1
Loop
End Sub
