Are you selecting the task by the row number and then copying? Have you tried collapsing the summary task, copying the summary and pasting? What service pack do you have applied to Project 2003? I believe it is up to SP-3

I have tried copying by row, by cell, only some cells, etc. Each time is the same result.

I will update tomorrow with the update version. Thanks.

it is SP3

However, I tried again with the structure collapsed, and the dependencies shifted properly.

thanks!

Great. The trick is to collapse the summary tasks and then copy the entire task - it should keep all of the relationships within the summary task correctly. Glad all is sorted.
