Activity Ends One Minute Early When Using Duration in Weeks PSS ID Number: Q70925 Article last modified on 04-15-1991 PSS database name: D_PRoject

4.00

MS-DOS

Summary:

When using fractions of weeks as the duration of an activity, Microsoft Project version 4.00 may miscalculate the end time of the activity by one minute.

Steps to Reproduce Problem

 * 1) Open a new Project file using the default work calendar.
 * 2) Set up an activity to start at 8:00 AM with a duration of 9 days.
 * 3) Set up an activity to start at 8:00 AM with a duration of 1.8 weeks (note: 1.8 working weeks = 9 working days).

The activity with duration in days ends correctly at 5:00 PM; however, the activity using weeks ends at 4:59 PM.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Project version 4.00.
