Multiple predecessors

[EngBen]

I'm a completely new user of MS Project - a new engineering director has replaced our previous software with it.

I want to include tasks on it that run before and after the main project start date, as we are co-ordinating contractors on-site between multiple areas. However, I don't want my critical path defined by these projects.

Can I exclude tasks from the critical path?

Thanks in advance,
Ben.

Sorry - wrong thread title - I figured out the answer to that question already...

Now if I can just figure out how to edit posts on here...
