Might you try making a task Fixed Duration and then key the value of Work in
the Work column. This will adjust the resource assignment units.

Christian, your English is fine ... better than some here in Los Angeles.

Yes, you can -- to some extent. Have the task type as "Fixed Duration"
and have "Effort driven" as yes.

What does this mean? - Let's say you have entered the duration (5
days) and work (40 hr) of a task, and have applied the above said
settings. During the initial resource assignment, project calculates
the units of the resources -- John[100%]. If you alter the assignment
units of the resource on that task -- John[50%], the "work" column
will change -- 20hrs -- as task type is fixed duration, and so the
work should naturally change.

Please let us know if this helps

:)) thanks by the reponses.. I have a example for duracion fixed and work fixed

My task may be 40 days of duration AND 40 hours of work, then I need that
project calculate resource units, filling 40 hours in this 40 day if have
disponibility.

I think that SAI response is a good alternative..

Thanks in advance and I'll move to los angeles
