Naval,
First of all, Start and Finish are single valued points in time - there
is no duration to them. However I suspect you may be referring to the
Duration field. Now the question becomes, do you want to change the
default Project calendar to be a 24 hour calendar, 7 days a week or do
you simply want to see the existing duration expressed as elapsed days
(same standard working calendar)? For the former, go to Tools/Change
Working time and set the calendar for 24 hours. You might also want to
change the default settings on Tools/Options/Calendar. On the other hand
if you only wish to show elapsed duration between Start and Finish, you
will need to set up a custom field (e.g. Duration1) with a formula. Use
the following formula if the custom field is a spare Duration field:
DateDiff("d",[Start],[Finish])*480
Note: the "480" multiplier is needed as a conversion factor to
compensate for the double conversion that occurs in the function and by
using a spare duration field.
Hope this helps.
John
