I have a project that has three tasks that will all have the same duration except that one will start two days after the other. By that I mean that task two will start 2 days after task one and task three will start 2 days after task two. I have no problem setting them up except for the duration. If I change the duration on task one, how can I automatically change the duration of tasks two and three? I don't want to do it by highlighting the duration of all three and changing them globally. I can guarantee that I'll forget to do that! Any help would be appreciated.

Basically, you cannot tie the duration of one task to the duration of another task.

Well, actually you can. And I did write about this earlier but there are all sorts of issues that arise and it sounds as if you've only been using Project for a few years so I will save you from yourself and your own good intentions.

It can be done. Do NOT do it.
