    Hi,

    When you enter 1 day as the activity duration this looks at the calendar and then multiplies it by the number of hours in the working day, therefore the hours entered on your task will be 24.

     

    Check the time you are scheduling the data date to, this will need to be 00:00

    Check the predecessor has the same calendar, as if it different it could effect the start of your 24hr activity.
