Project Pro changing scheduled work

[Andrew Curtis]

Hey!

We have setup hammock tasks in our projects, the problem is when we load the
project in Project Pro it overwrites our scheduling for each task with
180'ish hours a month (tasks are viewed monthly) until the project finish
date.

I noticed that when i load the project if i say No to re-eastblishing the
Links then project does not change my scheduling, but if i select yes it
changes them all to 180'ish.

***Task Name | StartDate | FinishDate***
Project Start | 17/03/06 | 17/03/06 < Start of hammock source
Task 1 | 17/03/06 | 28/12/07 <== Hammock task
Task 2 | 17/03/06 | 28/12/07 <== Hammock task
Task 3 | 17/03/06 | 28/12/07 <== Hammock task
.... etc
Project End | 28|12|07 | 28/12/07 <= End of hammock source

I have made sure that 'Tasks are effort driven' and 'Tasks will always honor
their constraint dates' are unticked which i understood to be the way to stop
project scheduling ahead. The reason we have all tasks setup this way is
because the projects we work on generally do not have a set length.

Its probally something obvious that I am missing, im not particually
knowledgable in Project Pro so im trying to work this out as I go.

Any help would be MUCH appreciated.

Andrew,

It is quite confusion. Is it possible you can email me the project at
(e-mail address removed). I can look at the project and can recommend you a solution.

Thanks
