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.

In the programme I'm working using P6, I'm using "day" as the unit of time. I set Admin Preferences>Time periods to 24 Hours/Day. I did the same for the calendar. But for an activity with a 1 day duration, which will start on 08-Aug-11 00:00, it will be finished on 09-Aug-11 00:00. Actually it is the same for every activity of any duration. So if I will not show the time, if you look at the start and finis date, it is like having an additional 1-day for the duration. Anybody knows how to fixed this? I read some previous thread but I haven't found any solution. Thanks.

Hi Ronn

It is like a fence - the dates are the fence posts and the gaps is the duration - there is always 1 more fence post than gaps.

Maybe you can set your duration to 1 second before midnight - you can in Asta Powerproject.

Best regards
