Change Working Days to Calendar Days without Impacting the Task Dates

[Melissa San]

I have an existing project schedule that I need to change to calendar days. I successfully made the change in the Change Working Time tab but most of my finish task dates automatically adjusted. I want the start and finish dates to stay the same but just the duration to reflect the new dates now that the project is a 7 day work week rather than 5. How can I change to calendar days without impacting my start and finish task dates?

Hi ,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project forum

I suspect you have a mismatch with the settings. First, have a look
at FAQ Item: 5. Default Working Hours
