Actuals are re-calculating when calendar changes

[Bud]

Anyway to get the actuals to NOT re-calculate when a calendars working time
is changed.

This happens in MS Project 2003 or MS Project 2007.

I have two issues with this................
1. Issue 1............
We have a schedule that was using a 7 hour day and now the organization want
to use a 8 hour day. When we change the standard calendar it re-calculates
the actuals. The total is fine but it re-distributes across all the months.
We use a timekeeping system that must keep the weekly totals in tact and we
enter actuals through this system per day. We do NOT want MS Project to
recalculate these.

2. Issue 2........
We are moving to MSPS and MS Project 2007 and are importing schedules. We do
NOT want the actuals recalculated but they are. We need to use the Enterprise
calendars that had already been created. When we move to these calendars
actuals are re-calculated. We are using fixed duration tasks for all ongoing
tasks and for deliverable tasks we are using fixed units. We use a
timekeeping system to enter actuals per day.
