I have a MPP file with Start-to-Start relationship between tasks. But when I import to MPP in one project, I need to convert it to Finish-to-Start relationship because the system only supports finish-to-start relationships.

    Though I've provided a technically correct answer, this seems like a silly request. The existing schedule may include many SS+lag relationships. Simply converting these to FS+lag relationships completely changes the logic of the schedule. You should re-plan tasks and relationships from the beginning.

  • I appreciate your answer. Condition here is, I have MPP with 400 tasks and some tasks have SS+<Number> relationships. But my web portal only have FS+<number> relationship settings. So how to convert SS to FS with some equation that works for all tasks

  1. Display all tasks. i.e. make sure filters are clear and outline shows all tasks.
  2. Open the Find/Replace window from the Editing group on the Task Ribbon (Shortcut is Alt-E-E).
  3. Find what: SS
  4. Replace with: FS [or leave blank]
  5. Look in field: Selected; "Predecessors"
  6. Replace all.

Note: the resulting schedule may be radically different than the one you started with. Save before you start.
