Steps to Reproduce Behavior (version 3.0)
- In the Task Form, enter a task in the Name box. Under Resource Name, add a resource to the task.
- From the Options menu, choose Project Info. Under Schedule Project From, select the Start: Option button, change the start date and time of the project to 7/10/92 8:00 A.M., then choose the OK button. The Scheduled Start box on the Task Form should now read 7/10/92 8:00 A.M.
- From the Options menu, choose Resource Calendars. Select the date 7/11, and select the Working option button so that 7/11 is designated as a working day.
- In Task Form or Task Edit Form, enter actual dates of 7/11 8:00 A.M. to 7/11 5:00 P.M.
At this point, the Duration box reads 0d, and the Scheduled Start and the Scheduled Finish boxes read 7/11/92 5:00 P.M.
