Actual Work assignment

[jov]

Hi all,

In VBA I set an ActualWork value for a resource on a task (via the
TimeScaleValues of the Assignment object) to 1h on a specific
day(25/08/05), I then set ActualWork values for other days upon the same
task.
Next I change the duration for the task.
Now when I look at the original ActualWork(1h on 25/08/05) value
specified for that resource on the task I see that it has been split
across several weeks(at 0.02h per day) ranging from the previous
ActualWork value explicitly set until the 25/08/05.

does anyone understand cause I sure don't.

thanks,
John

You are forcing project to do things when you edit the duration, based on
what you have fixed (Work, Duration or Units).

VBA does exactly what happens when you do things manually.

Safer sequence is to edit Actual hours, then edit work hours for remaining
days. That will work (try it manually). Let Project calculate duration as
you edit work for remaining days.
