hi
i had to export some progs in p3 for but when i looked at the durations in p3 it had changed
Let me explain in p5
say activity A start date & finish dates are
02/05/07 , 05/08/07.
but same activity A in p3 has start & finish dates
are 02/05/07, 02/08/07.
Calender is same in both,
the relationship remains the same.

then why does it calculate like that?

cheers

    Hi Mangesh
    Calenders may seem the same in P3 and P5. But P3 has day or hour, depending on your parameter setting. P5 always has hours per day. This can be different to the parameters under
    Admin --> Admin Preferences --> Time Units.
    Hours per day maybe is not the same --> Put ot to the same rate, e.g. 8 hours per day.
    If you Plan with days in P3, days are stored, whereas P5 always stores hours.
    Hope, this will help.
