Changing summary task duration to something other than days in MP2

Hi,

MP 2000 question: How do i specify task duration in days or weeks and get a
summary in months!?

I'm entering durations for tasks in, say, days. The summary task tots it
all up and tells me the total, also in days. How do I set an individual
summary task to show duration in something appropriate to the total time,
say, months but still have the shorter sub tasks shown in something
approriate to their length, e.g. days?

I've tried the set fomat_duration macro to change the fomat to months but
this ofcourse changes all tasks to months.

Many Thanks

Hi,

(If necessary) Run Format_Duration to show days everywhere
Now Tools, Options, Schedule, Duration is enytered in Months
Summary tasks will now show months.
