You can do this by making a copy and changing the the planning units there, there is a help topic in P3 that explains it, under "planning units, revising".
However, I have in the past done it by exporting, and manually changing durations and successor lags in excel, by mass editing, according to calendars and then importing. In your instance exporting from the hourly project, and importing to a daily project.This can also be used to check the copy method. The main concern I have about the copy method, is that when you have multiple calenders, that the durations are calculated correctly for the various activity calendars.

P3 has a maximum number of planning units it allows.
Go to file->project overview and check the project start date and the project must finish by date. Should this be longer than the maximum allowable number of planning units it could be your problem. It could also be due to the PSD being set too early. If the project must end by date is set too early move it out.
Other than this check your calendars, both the scheduling and resource calenders.

The other option you can try is, check your final networks activities sequence and increase the duration and see whether it reaches the required project completion period.

there is a possiblity that the activites duration do not comply with the end date(correct me if i am wrong)as this happens if the total duration for the activities should show the same or else you can make a constriant for EF, LF for Dec2008 and i am sure it might help

I think this is the first time i am hearing about this kind of calendar problem, have u checked your programme with some other machine(where P3 installed). How many calendars did you assign to your projects, check your activitys calendar where it stops at May 2008.
please brief me further.

The planning units are actually in Hours, so I think this may be the problem. How do I change these to days?

Hi Scott,
There is a few posibilities:
P3 has a maximum number of planning units it allows.
