1hr task spreading itself across the entire week

[lynne baker]

Project Pro 2002 - server 2002 and PWA
Please can somebody tell me how to stop a one hour task occurring
every Tuesday from appearing in the resource useage sheet as a .28 hr
task every day.
I'd like it to appear as a one hour task every Tuesday - it's set up
that way as a recurring task.
Many thanks

I created a 1-hour recurring task every Tuesday, assigned a resource, and
then examined the Resource Usage view. It shows only the 1 hour of work on
each Tuesday and nothing more, so I'm not sure what has gone wrong in your
project. When you say you created a recurring task, did you actually create
it doing Insert - Recurring Task or did you use some other method? Let us
know.

Dale, Hi, thanks for your reply
I checked, and it is set up as a recurring task with a 1hr duration
every Tuesday.
I created it using insert recurring task.
I wonder if I have altered something elsewhere - would levelling make
this happen, would changing the task type to fixed units and effort
driven on other tasks make this happen.
Now that this has happened, how can I change it so that it goes back
to being just 1hr on a Tuesday?
Many thanks

I have no idea what you might have done to this recurring task, but it
sounds like you have somehow turned it into a regular task. Why don't you
remove the resources from this task, clear the baseline, and delete the
task? Then insert a new recurring task, assign resources, baseline the task
only, and reenter actuals. Hope this helps.
