Sometimes 2 task have dependency for Starting, and different dependency for finishing.

How can I solve this problem ?


Example :
Task A
Task B


Case 01:
A start, then B can follow to Start. (Start-to-Start)
A finish, then B can follow to Finish. (Finish-to-Finish)


Case 02:
A Start, then B can follow to Start. (Start-to-Start)
A cannnot finish, until B finish. (Finish-to-Finish)
I want to setup it to: I extend B's finished day, A can automaticly delay. BUT both start day is fixed.


There are still different problem when I send dependancy, but I think just list this two cases is enough.

Thanks.

 
What you are looking for is a variation on the theme of a hammock task.

You'll find more information in my answer in this thread: Hammock task - possible?

In your case, you're working with just two tasks. In the first instance they are A (which is the driver task) and B (which is the Hammock task) so you'll be copying the A Start to the B Start and copying A Finish to the B Finish. Pay particular attention to the instructions on how to do the paste.

In the second case, you reversed the two tasks and now A is the Hammock task and B is the driver task.

Read through the directions there and if you still have difficulties, report back with a description of what you've done and where things aren't quite working out.
