Hi, I’ve been getting errors when loading resources into a MS Project schedule. Calendar is configured as 8 hours/day from Monday through Friday. Then, I input taks and their respective durations (in days). Later on, I create my resources and load them into the tasks. Work Effort field (man-hours) sometimes get wrong calculations and sometimes the software splits the bar (with dots between the split bars). Could anyone tell me if I’m doing something wrong or maybe I need to setup something or whatever? I will appreciate any help on this issue. Thank you.

Do your resources (or any) have a different calendar from the project’s one?.
Spli tasks and dotted / dashed line display a peiod withun the task duration where nobody is at work, possibly due to a non-working day in the resource calendar.
Also check the task info dialog, Advanced tab: does the task use a specific calendar?
have a good Xmas
