PRJ: Wrong Result Linking Task, Resource w/ Identical Names

MORE INFORMATION

When you link a task where the predecessor task name and a resource name are identical, the relationship is based on the resource name rather than the task name. In the following steps, the result is that task "T2" will be linked to the task that has resource "A1" assigned to it rather than the actual task named "A1."

1. Create a task called "X".
2. Assign a resource to "X" called "A1."
3. Create two additional tasks, one called "T2" and the other called "A1."
4. On the View menu, click Task Usage.
5. Double-click the task named "T2" and click the Predecessor tab.
6. In the Task Name field, type "A1" (do not select A1 in the drop-down list).
