Hours per day - Resource Usage problems

[Chris Reed, P.M.U.K.]

I have hit a problem with MS Project 2003 (SP2). Despite updating the Options
- Calendar dialog with 7.5 hours per day and 37.5 hours per week, the
resource usage worksheet still works to 8hrs per day.

Is there another setting I have missed?

Huge thanks for any assistance folks,
Chris

Chris,
The hours per day, week and month under Tools/Options/Calendar tab are
for calculating and displaying duration fields in Project. They do NOT
set the working hours per day. Work time is set under Tools/Change
Working Time. You might like to check out FAQ 5 - Default Working Time
on our MVP website at:
http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm
You might also like to take a look at fellow MVP, Mike Glen's series on
Project tutorials. In particular check out module 7. Mike's series can
be found at:

Hope this helps.
