Durations VS Schedule

Hello

I was preparing a time schedule and I notice the following when I scheduled (Tools\Schedule or "F9") the project: dispite the durations are differents, the activities had the finish date as having one day duration.
Example:
Activity Name Start End Duration
Earth Movements 01.02.2009 01.02.2009 2 days
Excavation 02.02.2009 02.02.2009 8 days

What I did:
1. inserted activity (insert button)
2. inserted durations (column Original Duration)
3. inserted relationships (bottom pane of the workspace)

What I notice:
Dispite Original Duration is OK, in the Bottom pane of the workspace, Remaining and At Complete duration was one day.

Example:
Duration--------------
Duration: 5 days
Actual: 0 days
Remaing: 1 days
At Complete: 1 days

When I corrected this in each activity, I scheduled and I got the correct finish date.

Is this normal? Insertion of data can only be done in the Bottom Pane of the Workspace? (at least to work correctly)

Thanks,
AF

    There is a project parameter "Link Budget and At Completion for not started activities":
    View Project --> select your project (must be open) --> Tab "Calculations" --> mark "Link..."
    Good luck!

    In the "mouche"! :)

    Thanks a lot. It worked. No luck was needed ;)

    I check other open projects and I notice the following:

    the 4 projects that I import to Primavera were without this option selected. New ones, Primavera has this option as default.

    One more time, thanks.
