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.

Dear fellow professionals,

I'm havign to use ms project 2003 to plan for a very small job, but with resource and number of hours (in work).

The actual working hours for all resources are 8-12, 13-16:30, so 7.5 hours per day and 37.5 hours per week. Straight forward. I therefore set this as default in the calendar, but when I go to the calendar itself the defalut for each day is still 8 hours, but when I check in Tools-Options-Calendar the default is as I set it to be. If I open "Change Working Time" all the default working days are still showing 8 hours per day, but when I click on options it shows my setting!

The result of this is that the software assumes there is 8 hours in a day, so 37.5 hours of work takes 4 and half days.

Can someone plase help?

thanks a lot
