Some end times not same

[AlanStotty]

Hi,

How come some of my tasks finish at 17:00 hours and others at 17:30?

I have checked the calendar and options and both are set to 17:30.

What can I do to make the full day tasks to finish at 17:30? I am
not inputting the time it is worked out by the duration.

Thanks in advance.

Hello AlanScotty,

A couple of questions that may help track things down:
What time does the "full day" task start?
I assume you have change the calendar to 8:00 am to 17:30 -- have you
also changed the "hours per day" on the Calendar tab of Tools> Options
to 8.50 hours?
Do you have resources assigned to the tasks?
Do the resource's calendars differ?

It sounds as though you have already verified the calendar and option
changes but just to confirm see FAQ #5 "Default Working Hours" at:

http://project.mvps.org/faqs.htm

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I copied some tasks from another plan that was a dependancy on others
in my plan. That finished at 17:00 and then this carried on with all
the rest of the tasks.

I hope my explanation is clear..................er.

Thanks again.
