U can use the others too, but no more than 1 relation between 2 activities.
So the relation between act.A en act.B can be either one of FS,SS,FF,or SF but not SS and FF.
In a true forward&backward network analysis to determine Early and Late dates this would result in open ends on the activity ...
You can even make reports in Access which are not possible in P3, e.g. by linking ( through a query ) the act. table with the relations table twice ( once on predecessor once on successor ) this enables the creation of extensive logic reports with full details of predecessors and successors...
1. Only single relations between 2 act's, so no SS/FF possible in MSP.
2. No S-curves or complex Histograms in MSP.
3. Early/Late calculations not present in MSP.
4. Only one baseline(target) in MSP, 2 in P3.
5. Exchange with MS-Office products is better in MSP.
6. Microsoft look-and feel and...
I would prefer Primavera above Microsoft project if you have the option. Far better control and scheduling options.
Your question if you can use MSP depends on the type of project . MSP2000 can work fine if you don't want any complex histograms / s-curves or early and late start calculations on...
