Set up for a due date 45 Calendar Days later?

[Mike R.]

Normal schedule - 8 hrs per day/5 days per week/weekends off. I need to have
an event happen 45 calendar days after a start date. For example: start on
7-1-07, due on 8-15-07. I tried "45 days", resulting in a due date of 8-31.
Tried "1.5 Months" and that gave a due date of 8-10.

Is there an abbreviation used in Predecessors that will change the timing
for this task to Calendar Days?

Thanks,
Mike R.

Hi Mike,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup

Yes, put an e in front to make it elapsed time eg 45 edays.
