Work and elapsed duration
in [Project]

From: Shahriar Nour Khondokar on 8 Apr 2010 01:45 Thanks Barbara and Andrew for your replies. I have done some experimenting of my own and found a way of doing this different from what is described above. I created a fixed work task and assigned a 100% resource to it. The duration is calculated automatically. Now, if i add 'e' to the duration, it schedules the task during non working hours. Hence I did not have to create or use a 24hrs calendar specifically for this task. Can someone please confirm that it is OK to follow this approach?

Hi, this appraoch is fine (and was in fact my first suggestion ;-)). Since I understood from your earlier post that you didn't want to edit duration, I described a possibilty without doing that. And so did Andrew.
