What is the best way to show a 5 hour work effort over a
15 day duration for a task?

Louise,
I would start be setting the task at 15 days duration and then assigning
the resource(s) to total 5 hours.

Louise --

Select the task and then click Window - Split to apply the Task Entry view.
In the lower viewing pane (Task Form), do the following:

1. Select a resource from the Resource Name column
2. Enter 5 hours of work in the Work column
3. Set the Task Type as Fixed Work
4. Click the OK button
5. Change the Duration to 15 days
6. Click OK

Microsoft Project will automatically recalculate the Units as 4%. Hope this
helps.
