= SYMPTOMS =

In Microsoft Project, when you set the default hours per day or default hours per week to 0, task duration may resemble the following:

1.#Jd

-or-

-1.#Jw

-or-

1.#Rd

= CAUSE =

This behavior occurs when you enter the value 0 in the Hours Per Day box or the Hours Per Week box on the Calendar tab in the Options dialog box. The Hours Per Day value and the Hours Per Week value represent the number of hours that you want Microsoft Project to assign to a task when you enter a duration of a day or a week. The value 0 is not valid for these settings.

Note that this behavior may also occur when you run a macro that contains the OptionsCalendar method, if the HoursPerDay or HoursPerWeek argument is set to the value 0, an invalid value, or if the argument is set equal to a variable that has not been given a value (null).

= WORKAROUND =

To avoid this behavior, enter the correct value in the Hours Per Day box and the Hours Per Week box on the Calendar tab of the Options dialog box.

= STATUS =

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
