external task

From: Lee Colgate on 7 May 2008 09:31 Daniela makes an excellent point, though. It is often vital to highlight in a project plan (particularly when you're dependent on, for example, a client) to be able to indicate VERY clearly where such dependencies exist. While in Proj Man practice an external task is something that exists in a different project, are there plans to make it possible to apply a different format where External Resource is relied on for delivery of a task automatically? And does the functionality your link points to (which is detailed for MSP 2000) also work in later versions?
