Using a duration of less than one minute?

[Jman1018]

I was searching for the question I have in the Subject line when I ran
accross a thread started on 5/12/2006 by Natasha "Subject: Adding additional
duration units". I want to do the exact same thing. There was a lengthy
discussion but no results. I'm using Project 2000, does 2007 solve this
limitation?

Hello Jman1018,

Definitely, the minute is the smallest duration unit in MS Project.

The suggestion back in the old post was to multiply by a factor such as 60
(becuase there are 60 seconds in one minute, 60 minutes in one hour...)

Perhaps you may want to schedule at 2 units/minute rather than 0.5 mins/unit
(example).

MS Project 2007 has one minute display resolution. I tried enterring a
resource at $100,000/hr. If I make the duration: 0.5<=Duration<=1minutes
the cost column calculates fine. However, if I make the duration <0.5
minutes , the cost shows as $0.
The behavior is a bit odd -- if I key the value initially, 0.3 minutes it
shows $0. However, if I key 1 minute and then keep reducing the value, it
will reduce correctly to 0.5 minutes and then freezes at that value even if I
enter 0.3 minutes.
