I have created a few fixed duration tasks with two or more resources. When I
add a vacation day to one of the resources, Project 2007 is correctly
extending the duration until the resource returns. My problem is that when I
remove that vacation day ( employees do occasionally change vacation plans),
the duration stays at the longer time period and does not go back to its
original shorter duration. Is anyone else having this issue or is a flag
somewhere controlling this apparent anomoly?

Hello TNCAdams,

I have certainly seen that before and I'm not sure I'd call it an
anomaly. Project is doing exactly what you asked, it is keeping the
duration fixed. Change the task type to fixed work or fixed units
and you'll see the duration drop. Once it's dropped, you could set
it back to fixed duration if needed.

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.
