I have a strange problem, I want change my clander from 8 hrs to 9 hrs. Before doing it on the project i experimented
Created a new project put an activity
Name Duration Start Finish
Task 1 5days 11/7/11 15/7/11
Then I created a new calender with 9 hr working. Changed the calender of the task as well as default working hours of the day from 8 to 9hrs and of the week to 45 instead of 40hrs which resulted duration from 5days to 4.4days. I then changed the duration to 5 days in the duration column but the bar representing the task is finihisng on Monday week following.
Name Duration Start Finish
Task 1 5days 11/7/11 8:00 18/7/11 10:00
Please note I have changed the project calendar to new calender as well and no resourse is assigned yet.
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks for your comments. Problem was it was running calcultion from project start time. whatever calender you assign that does not solve the problem and have to change the defauld project start timing.

Your "Hours per day" setting and business hours per day (on the project calendar or on the task calendar if applied) do not match. Open the Change Working Time dialog box and click any working day of the calendar in the middle then check the time ranges displayed on the right to verify that your settings are effective. For example, you need to see 08:00-12:00 and 13:00-18:00 for 9 hour in any business day.
You can do a simple test: enter a 9-hour duration task and check the times.
