It sounds like you are describing Microsoft Project (or any other vendor's project planning
software), although this is not a part of the Office suite.

Does anyone know how or is there software around that lets you make one task dependant on another
in Office?
1) You *can* change the "owner" of an application by Setting it's parent
hwnd (don't have the code right here - but it might be on mvps (or do a
google search))
2) otherwise you can start an instance of another program through getobject
(late binding) or referencing it's object library & creating an instance
(early binding)
either way you can control the other app through code, including closing it
"at will"
Plenty of samples available on the net either way
