Rob,
Not quite. I just did a quick test on one of my sample files. I normally
have Tools/Options/Schedule tab - "durations entered in", set to "Days".
When I reset the option for "months", all the summary lines converted to
"months" while leaving the already entered performance tasks as "days".
Since the Summary line Duration is not an entered value, it will default
to the option setting whereas performance tasks, which may have a user
entered value for Duration, will take the dimension of whatever is set
as the option before that task's Duration is entered.
Hope this helps.
John
