Recording the Actuals - Help Needed

Hi there,

Fairly new to Project 2007 - but not to project management. I wonder if
someone can shed some light on the following.

I have a task on a plan with resource ASH 75% loading. The task was due to
take 6 days and was sheduled as 75% thus the elapsed as 8 days. ASH put extra
hours in and finished the task early but using the full time allocation. When
I enter the actual end date / hours taken etc. the calculations do one of two
things.

1. If I say complete 100%, 0 remaining and actual finish date the task
duration changes to 6 days (fine as the elapsed is 6 days), but the actual
hours change to 36.
2. If I say complete 100%, 0 remaining, 48hours actual and actual finish
date the task duration changes to 8 days, actual hours 48 but end date
changes back to 8 day elapsed from start.

I was hoping to show that the task has finished early but keep the actual
hours correct.

Any ideas??

Many thanks - new there had to be an easy answer - I now have a task showing
finished before schedule with the same costing.

Thanks again.

Simplest solution (there are several) is to fuirst set the assignment units
