Can anyone tell me how P6 handles the original duration while an activity is Resource Driven vs Task Driven ?  The Activity Calander is 7x24x2 while the Resource Calander is 5x10x1.

    Hi Richard

    Normally the resource driver over rides the task.

    This leads to all sorts of confusion if the two are out of sync - best keep them the same.

    Best regards

    If an Activity is Task Driven

    If an Activity is Task Driven the Original Duration for that activity may be 4 as displayed in the original duration field.  Change the activity to Resource Driven and the original duration as displayed will change.  I know why it changes, but what I am trying to do is to get it to display the 4.  The client wants to see the "Activity Original Duration" not the "Resource Duration".  I have a very difficult time trying to write and explain what I am asking.  It is a big weakness.  If you can understand me, I would appreciate any help.  Thanks
