         <Paragraph>Use this session to define and maintain
		  activity relationships. The activities must be sequenced accurately to provide
		  realistic schedules.</Paragraph>
         <Paragraph>An activity relationship indicates that a certain activity
		  (successor) cannot start or end until another activity (predecessor) starts or
		  ends.</Paragraph>
         <Paragraph>One cannot link the same predecessor task twice to same
		  successor task and one cannot link the same predecessor task to the same
		  successor task.</Paragraph>
         <Paragraph>You cannot create, edit or delete a relationship for projects
		  with <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tp/domains/pdm.psta#finished" role="option">Finished</GUIRef>/ <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tp/domains/pdm.psta#closed" role="option">Closed</GUIRef>/ <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tp/domains/pdm.psta#archived" role="option">Archived</GUIRef> status.</Paragraph>
