Best practice with tasks duration

[Filip - beginner]

What's the best way to make duration of some tasks. F.e. some task is
gonna take about 2 hrs of real time, but task will be ready for next
day. This soupose to work with project server (PS 2003) when the same
resource is working with few projects in one time. Is it better to make
duratio of this example task 2 hrs or 1 day.

Hi Filip,

Always plan for reality. If it takes only 2 hours, then that's the
Duration: 2hours. If you're using Project Server, try posting on the server
newsgroup. Please see FAQ Item: 24. Project Newsgroups. FAQs, companion
products and other useful Project information can be seen at this web
