Repeating tasks calculating duration incorrectly.

[mgrozon]

When I set up a repeating task, the total duration appears to be a
calculation of all working days between the first date of task and the date
of the final repeat. For instance, if I set up a task for the first Monday of
each month and want to have it repeat for 6 months, the duration pops up as
111 days. I can see where the duration *is* 111 days - but the total working
hours the person will spend on the project is really only 6 x 8 hours (48
hours) not the 111 x 8 (888 hours) the report tries to give me. How do I set
this up so Project accurately calculates working hours?

Hi,

Duration is duration and working hours are expressed in a variable called
Work
Assign the resource to the occurences of the recurring task and insert the
work column, you will see total work allright.
