Hi Keith,

Before examining, please show time of day in your start and end dates
Tools, Options, view, date format, select the one at the top of the list.

Then we'll see immediately what happened.

Hi All,
I have a problem with Project 2003. I have 3 tasks all starting on the
same
day. First task is 2.5 hrs, 2nd task is 2.5 hrs, 3rd task is 9.0 hrs.

Hours on the calendar are set to 7.0 per day.
Tasks are set to Fixed Units Effort Driven.

The start and end dates of the first two tasks correctly show as Monday.
This is a total of 5.0 hrs so far.

The start date for task 3 shows correctly as Monday but the end date shows
as Wednesday. The task is entered as 9.0 hours. Two hours should go
against
Monday and the remaining 7.0 hours should go against Tuesday. The end
date
shows Wednesday and not Tuesday.

When you look at the Resource Usage View, the tasks show correctly. There
are 2 tasks showing 2.5 hours each on Monday and a 3rd task for Monday
showing 2 hours. Tuesday shows 7.0 hours. The 3 tasks are all showing
complete by the end of Tuesday.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
Keith
