showing duration in edays

[cathie]

I am working in microsoft project 98. I would like to show the
durations in elapsed (real time) days, not working days. Is there a
way to do this?

Thanks!

Hello Cathie,

Just add an "e" before the "d" of days or befor the "w" for weeks :
ex : 20ed for concrete harden

Gerard,

This will only change the duration of the tasks, not the way they are
displayed.
In project 98 the only way to do this is with a bit of VBA code. In Project
2000 and later a calculated field would be effective.
This is the code that I would use.

sub setText5toDateDiff()
for each task in activeproject.tasks
task.Text5 = DateDiff("d", task.start, task.finish)
next task
end sub
