Task Duration in Seconds?

[Paul]

We are a manufacturer of high-speed assembly machinery. A
key task in the design of a system is compiling a cycle
time chart for the machine. Essentially this is a Project
chart - however the task durations are in seconds or
fractions of a second. Is there a way to use Project to
accomplish this?

Thanks.

Paul,
Project's smallest time increment is the minute and all its calculations
are done in minutes, whole minutes, no fractions. The best you can do is
to equate a Project minute to seconds, however beyond hours (minutes in
your case), the time relationship will need to be modified since
obviously there aren't 60 hours in a day.

Hope this helps.
John

Hello Paul,

As some others of my clients who do the same thing, you can assume that "a
minute for Project is a second for me"...

Thanks for the ideas! I am currently doing the minutes-to-
seconds conversion. Thought someone might have other
ideas. Also have a rather clumsy Excel program that does
work in seconds. However it is no where near as flexible
as Project.
