Website Upgrade Incoming - we're working on a new look (and speed!) standby while we deliver the project

Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

How can I avoid showing total slack as say 10.1 days. In otherwords what is wrong with calendars or durations allocated to tasks for this to happen?

There are many reasons why this may happen, but displaying the times with the date is the first step to resolving what is happening.

Then as Brian has indicated check that you default start and finish times are aligned with your calendars.

Go into Tools | Options | View and pick a date format that shows the time.

It is possible that the Finish date of the task in question as a time on it that is not the same as the default end time for the calendar.
