[QUOTE="glenn, post: 4889362"] Hello, I open MS Project and put in a few tasks all of which receive a duration of one day and then I save the file as an Access Database file. I then exit MS Project. Next I open MS Access and open the Access database file I just created in MS Project. In the MSP_TASKS table, I look for the TASK_DUR field which represents the task duration. The number 4800 is found as the data for each task which represents one day. I then change the 4800 to 9600 and then I save the file and exit MS Access. Next I start MS Project and open the MS Access file I just altered and saved in MS Access. What I find is rather perplexing. The durations of the tasks have changed from one day to being two days but the gantt chart still shows the duration of the bar as only one day. Also, if I hover my mouse over the gantt bar, I notice the pop-up to indicate the task has a duration of two days even though its length only indicates it to be one day. Why am I doing this? Well since you asked, I'll tell you. I am placing an access database file that represents a MS Project on my web server. Using Active Server Pages, I am updating the database with new info from a web browser which is then later displayed to a client machine via the web. Any thoughts on this "weird behaviour" would be greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
