Why is actual work field updated when entering

[Tim Garvey]

For the weeks of 1/24 and 1/31, whatever hours I schedule (enter in the
"work" cell in the Resource Usage View) for the Project Management task also
appear in the "actual" cell. So I have 27 hours scheduled and actual for
this week and the week after. This doesn't happen for this task for any of
the subsequent weeks beyond 1/31 and going out to August of 2010. It also
doesn't happen for all tasks in my plan, though I can identify 6 or so that
it does happen for.

Any help would be appreciated.

Is the task marked as complete?

Thanks for your help.

No, the tasks are not marked as complete, i.e., their % complete is < 100
and the actual finish is NA.

Some other specifics on the tasks....
- Some are Fixed Work, Effort Driven
- Some are Fixed Duration, Effort Driven
- They all have at least one resource assigned and some have 2.

That's all I can think of to tell you. Please feel free to ask for more info.

Thanks, again.
