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.

Gary,

it is correct but confusing.

Start at 8am on 20th of February and Finish at 17pm on 24th of February is also correct but not confusing.

Finishing project on Friday evening or on Monday morning is the same but those who want to use the product on Saturday may be disappointed.

Sivaganesh,

 

If you start activity 1 at 8am on 20th Feb, and it is 5 days duration, it will finish at 8am on 25th Feb.

 

This is correct.
