Steve,
I assume you have Project 4.x (i.e. Project 95). Apparently because
there is a glitch having to do with leap years, some years will show 53
work weeks. In the case of 2004, the first week starts 1/4/04 (Sunday)
and the 53rd week starts 1/2/05 (Sunday). You will note however that
each year will have at least 52 weeks (i.e. no weeks are "lost"). There
are no options settings that I am aware of that will correct the
anomoly. I guess the real question is, does this anomoly negatively
impact your Project plans and if so, how so? Depending on the impact,
there are likely workarounds.
