    Microsoft Project - Duration Errors

    Thanks for the clear explanation. That has sorted it. Fingers crossed that is everyone sorted, but we also now have a few tips to help resolve if other problems emerge. A big thank you to both of you for your time.

    Microsoft Project - Duration Errors

    Microsoft Project - Duration Errors

    Oh I think I see. I think part of the problem then is that I haven't had the date time displayed and to be frank neither knew that you could have it displayed or how it can be displayed.
