Thank you all for your responses.



It was the type of duration I had assigned. I changed to fixed units/time and it corrected all my activities.



Again thanks!

Edit --> User Preferences --> Calculations

For better knowledge, then try "Help"

Hi Beth,

Did you try this option: Tools>Recalculate Assignment Costs....



It will help your problem solved.

Ken,



Thanks for your response. My only concern is when we made major changes in resources I had to manually recalc and enter the manhours or completely remove and reassign which is very time consuming. And P3 would recalculate itself.



I am thinking P3 was much better.

When you change your resource you might need to manually input the budgeted units / duration / budgeted units/time. When a resource is changed the units somtimes automatically revert to whatever you have as a default setting. Also if you go to the Assignments tab on the tool bar on the left hand side of the screen, it should have a list of all the resources you have in the schedule and their units (you may have to go to the column settings to add the columns that you need).

I hope this helps you out
