Split of tasks

[Kay]

Dear all,
I use MS Project 2003 SP 2 Standard.
I try to do the most simple planning.
One resource, who does some tasks, one after another.
So I entered it.
30% admin work over the entire time
70% work for the tasks.
So I entered admin time and assigned the resource for 30%.
Then I entered the tasks, all fixed work, and entered
the tasks, entered the resource and the work effort.
So 7 days for one task one mean a 10 day duration.
So far so good. But suddenly MSP splits up tasks,
which I haven't seen before.
What do I do wrong? Why is MSP doing it?
And how can I avoid it?

Regards

Kay

Do you have levelling set to automatic (Tools/Level Resources)?

Turn this off.

You may also have your levelling set to too fine a granularity. Set the
levelling to level only on a week-by-week or month-by-month basis.

To get it back, clear the levelling (Tools/Level Resources).

The first time it was this way installed. Before my company always
installed it with this set to off
