Formatted Task Duration Display

B

Bill Bordiuk

I've created forms and reports that display task durations, among other
fields. I want to be able to display a task's duration in the units in which
it was entered. For example, if the user entered "1 w" for one task and "5
d" for another, I want to display "1 w" for the first task and "5 d" for the
other. I can't find anything in the Project object model that allows me to
do this. There is a field, TASK_DUR_FMT, that's exported when you save a
project to an Access file, but there doesn't seem to be a corresponding
field in MSP itself. I know that there is a project-wide duration formatting
field but the one for each task doesn't seem to be exposed. Am I missing
something here? Is there a value stored with tasks that tells what unit is
current for task? It stays from session to session so it must be there
somewhere!
