Number of hours in a workday

[Kathee Foster]

I have a project already put together, linked, etc. Now, before the baseline
is drawn, the number of hours per day need to be modified to 10. I changed
it Tools, working time and via options to 10 hours a day. I forced a recalc.
I tried changing the duration again, nothing seems to work. What am I
missing here?

Hi Kathee,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup

If you change the definition of a day in Tools/Options... you will have to
re-enter all the Durations as changes to the default like these are not
retrospective.

You might like to see FAQ Item: 5. Default Working Hours

Hope this helps - please let us know how you get on

Kathee,
How about the resources and their work hours? Resources may still be
set for a standard 8 hour day. The easiest way to check this is via the
Resource Sheet. Check the Base Calendar field for each resource. If it
isn't the calendar for a Modified Standard (i.e. 10 hour workday),
change it.

Hope this helps.
