SYMPTOMS
When you save a time entry in Microsoft Office Accounting Express 2007, in Microsoft Office Accounting Professional 2007, or in Microsoft Office Small Business Accounting, you receive the following error message:

Please set Duration to a positive time of less than or equal to 24 hours.



CAUSE
This problem occurs when the total number of hours that you entered for one employee for one day is greater than 24.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, change the hours in the time entry so that the total of the existing time entries is greater than 0 and less than or equal to 24.

To view the total existing hours for the employee, follow these steps:

 * 2) In the Timesheet window, select the employee in the Employee name box.
 * 3) In the Select week box, enter the date of the time entry.

The time sheet grid displays the total time that is entered for the employee for every date that you select.
