microsoft project

(OP)
given a very short activity ,how can I set it so that I can spread it over a very long period?
An example is probably more explanatory:
I have an activity that starts now and ends in one month time. The activity requires only 3 hours work for a project engineer and 10 hours for the draft man. I want to assign the resources but this changes the activity work amount despite having ticked the effort driven option.
Can anybody help me?
thanks

RE: microsoft project

You could simply load the resource with less than 100% effort.  The PE would be loaded as PE[7.5%] and the DM loaded as DM[25%].  

Note that Project will round 7.5% up to 8%.

RE: microsoft project

Hello. First of all make this a fixed duration task. After you have assigned the resources to the task, then go to the Task Usage view and you can specify exactly how many hours each resource will be assigned for this task.
