Summary Tasks' Duration not represented

[John]

Hi,

When I use summary tasks in 2002, the duration of the
summary tasks do not reflect in the task that is one level
higher in the hierarchy.

Eg. I have a task named "High" with the subtasks of "Low
1" with duration of 1 day and "Low 2" with duration of 2
days beneath it (indented). If I change the duration of
Low 2 to 8 days, the High task does not increase to
reflect the increased days.

Cheers,

John.

Hi,

Summary tasks duration is the difference between the start of the first task
and the finish of the latest, not the sum of the durations of the outline
choildren.
