P6 internally only keeps hours. Just to display in the user interface it can be calculated into different units - based on your user preferences and the admin preferences for time units. Especially beginners for Primavera have many difficulties with this issue.

Thanks for your response Dieter,
I believe there is very little change in P6.2 to P6.3.
I will take a look at it and try to import it again.
I would like to keep the schedule in days in P6 though.
Teague
I have no experience with P6.3 - we have P6.2.1 - but the import should be equivalent.
When you run through the wizzard, youll find a button "Advanced". Select this one to select between hours and days as a unit.
Global change: Original duration will not satisfy, e.g. remaining -, actual duration.
