Re: [Planner] Duration Calculation Question!!!

[Gary Greyling <ggreyling tollnz co nz>]

Hello Andrew,

From my understanding and the way i use it is to link those tasks thus 
having them follow one another. I concur however that that type of 
smarts would be a nice to have but can easily be emulated using the above.

Hope that helps, shout if i'm not being clear as i do suffer from that 
sometimes.

Regards
Gary
