From: DianneZ on 7 Apr 2010 02:09 In Project 2007 - when I set a recurring task such as a meeting for every week, i get what I assume to be the elapsed time between the first and last occurance of the recurring meeting. Can I get the summary task to show just the total of all the meeting times IE if each meeting is 1 hour, and there are 3 of them, 3 hours. Currently it shows something like 72 hours! Thank you

This is due to the base definition of duration when applied to a summary task ... the total amount of calendat working time between the start of the earliest occuring subtask and the end of the latest finishing subtask. This is true of all summary tasks, including the rolled-up representation of a series of recurring tasks. -- Steve House MS Project Trainer & Consultant "DianneZ" <DianneZ(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:FD5372A7-167B-40FC-97C2-ED4FD8CF7119(a)microsoft.com... > In Project 2007 - when I set a recurring task such as a meeting for every > week, i get what I assume to be the elapsed time between the first and > last > occurance of the recurring meeting.
