I have already done my lag time in days. Today I opened an existing
plan of someone else's and saw that some of their lag time had %
complete and some had days. Why would you want to do this?

Is there anyway I can change the % complete into days?
When I have tried it has been changing the task I am on...not the
succesor.

Lag time with % complete????? Just what are you seeing? How were the lag
times created?

Hi,

It's not a %complete, but % of the predecessor's duration.

Lag can be specified in days or percentage. To edit/change double click the
link and change the value in the lag box. Or simply edit the percentage.

There are a few reasons to use percentage lag. It responds better to tasks
that you know have a variable duration for example, but in general I prefer
to keep things very simple and avoid putting any sort of lag on tasks.
