WINDOWS | MACINTOSH

= SYMPTOMS =

In Microsoft Project for the Macintosh, when you enter a small value in the Unit field for a resource, the Duration field for the task to which you assigned this resource may contain a different value than in Microsoft Project for Windows.

= CAUSE =

This difference in rounding behavior only occurs with small resource Unit values. For example, if you assign 0.4 units of a resource to a task that has a duration of 2m, in Microsoft Project for the Macintosh, the duration remains 2m. In Microsoft Project for Windows, however, the duration changes to 3m when you assign the resource.

= STATUS =

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft 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.
