Visual Basic for Applications 
  Sub LinkFinishToStart()

Dim FirstID As String     ' The ID number of the first task
Dim LastID As String      ' The ID number of the last task
Dim NextID As Long        ' The ID number of the next task to link

FirstID = InputBox$("Enter the ID number of the first task to link:")
If FirstID = Empty Then Exit Sub
LastID = InputBox$("Enter the ID number of the last task to link:")
If LastID = Empty Then Exit Sub

' Convert FirstID from String to Long, then "seed" the loop.
NextID = CLng(FirstID)

Do Until NextID = CLng(LastID)
    <strong class="bterm">LinkTasksEdit</strong> From:=NextID, To:=NextID + 1, Type:=pjFinishToStart
    NextID = NextID + 1
Loop



End Sub
