(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Dear sirs, I have recently moved from MSP back to Primavera P6.

I am trying to prevent the activity bar from reducing in size when using duration % i.e if the bar covers a 1 month duration with  known start and finish date and i apply  20% progress, the bar reduces in size by 20%. and if i apply 100% it ieffectively dissappears I have worked out that if i use fixed work the durtion remains the same size but if I apply some progress the work units do not reduce.

I dont recall having this issue in MSP?- What am i doing wrong or using incorrectly - i dont have anyone to ask ?

What you are describing is what the bar dialogue call the ‘Remaining’ bar. There is no ‘Activity’ bar If you want to draw a bar from the Early start to Early finish – unaltered by progress the timescale you want in the second column of the barchart dialogue in ‘Plan Bar’ I recommend a wee P6 dates refresher. Google: Ron Winter Primavera Dates
