I have a strange problem, I want change my clander from 8 hrs to 9 hrs. Before doing it on the project i experimented

Created a new project put an activity

Name              Duration           Start              Finish

Task 1                5days           11/7/11           15/7/11

Then I created a new calender with 9 hr working. Changed the calender of the task  as well as default working hours of the day from 8 to 9hrs and  of the week to 45 instead of 40hrs which resulted duration from 5days  to 4.4days. I then changed the duration to 5 days in the duration column but the bar representing the task is finihisng on Monday week following.

Name              Duration           Start                           Finish

Task 1                5days           11/7/11 8:00           18/7/11 10:00

Please note I have changed the project calendar to new calender as well and no resourse is assigned yet.

Any help is appreciated.

 

Regards

    Your "Hours per day" setting

    Your "Hours per day" setting and business hours per day (on the project calendar or on the task calendar if applied) do not match. Open the Change Working Time dialog box and click any working day of the calendar in the middle then check the time ranges displayed on the right to verify that your settings are effective. For example, you need to see 08:00-12:00 and 13:00-18:00 for 9 hour in any business day.

    You can do a simple test: enter a 9-hour duration task and check the times.
