Tips on using this forum..

(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.

Deb,

Hammock is almost the same as level of effort. If you breakdown your activity to WBS, then you can define that Activity as WBS and the detail activities will be the breakdown of your WBS activity. You WBS activity then will have an automatic duration based on the earliest start and last finish date of your detail activity. You can also use hammock but you need to define the predecessor (SS relationship) of the first detail activity and successor (FF relationship) of the last detail activity.

Hope this help
