Project Duration Days Incorrect

P

Pete Sperling

Start 7/15/07, Finish 8/3/07 - This is 20 days.
Why does Duration show "18.21 days?"
There is actually a "?" after the word "days".

I would like to have Saturdays and Sundays as a working day. Also, want the
work day to be 24 hours vice 8 hours.

I need the top example to produce a Duration of 20 days.

How can I make this happen.
Thanks for any help - new to Project

Hi Pete,

Quite a lot of questions, here are some answer.
Don't worry about the "?"; it'll only be there till you enter a duration, it
shows the original default 1 day is there. It doe NOT influence any
calculation.

As for the 18,21 days: it's a long story and it is best explained in

http://www;mvps.org/faqs.htm
faq 5. Default Working hours

Hope this helps,
