Discrepancy with work hours

[Joe]

I am baffled by this problem. I have a resource assigned to a task with just
8 hours of work. The duration is 1 day, and the unit is 100%.

When I go to the Task Usage screen, this same resource is showing 40 hours
of work for the same task. It shows 30 hours for one day, and 10 for
another, even though on the Gnatt chart is say 8 hours and 1-day duration.

Any one know what could cause this?

This very weird, especially with one resource 100% showing 30 hours of work
in one day. Sounds like someting is really screwed up with your calendars.
What is your calendar hours and what are the entries on the Tools Options
Calendar page? Is this resource one person or a group?

Steve,

I tried one thing. I created a new identical task and delete the 'bad' one,
and all seems fine now. I also noticed this across many other tasks in my
plan. One thing I did was cut and paste this task many times. Something
must have been corrupted. I will manually replace each bad task to correct
the problem.

By the way, the calendar options appear to be fine. I have worked on over
20 project plans with the same settings, so that wasn’t the issue.

Thanks for your help.

Joe
