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.

What is the best way to set up an activity that I want to run throughout the length of a project?

For example, I have an activity in my plan called "Updates to Risk Register"

This starts on 17-August-2011 and finishes on 20-Sep-2012

I have ticked the Started box in the Status tab.

When I run a schedule with an updated data date, I want the progress % complete to calculate based on the end date of the task, and not for me to have to work out how much remaining duration there is?

Should I set the % Complete Type to Physical, Duration or Units?

Any other advice on setting up these kinds of tasks in P6?
