Duration/Work Fields

[Diane]

Using MS Project 2003:
Is there a way to enter a Duration field of 5 days, Work
field of 20 hours, and 2 Resources at 100%?

When I enter a Duration of 5 days, I get 40 Work hours.
Changing the Work hours to 20, changes the Duration to
3.14 days.

Thanks for your response!

1. Create the resources.
2. Double-click on each resource and change the working time for each to
2hr per day.
3. Create the task.
4. Set the "Type" to "Fixed Duration", set the duration to 5d, set the
work to 20hr.
5. Double-click on the task and assign the resources at 100% each.

But why?
