Hmm... Went through the whole manage attachment process, selecting from the computer, etc. Let me try again...

Ah, there's the problem. The "Upload" button is a separate action from the "Close this window" button. I'm a UX designer and would have done that differently. : )

Thanks in advance.

Attached are before and after screen shots of a task in the plan I posted last night.

OPlan_01_5days: Note task 2.3.1. Its effort is 5d according to the chart on the left and that matches with the task bar to the right.

OPlan_02_4.5days: I dragged/shortened the task bar directly, moving it to the left. It snapped to the next day line in the display. But note the effort: 4.5 days. The task bar clearly shows 4 days, that's what I dragged it to, yet I'm getting 4.5 days.

Thoughts?

There was a disconnect between the work week and the number of hours per day in the project formatting panel. My work week was M-F from 8 to 5 (i.e. 9 hours per calendar day). My project formatting setting (at the bottom of the inspector) had a work day of 8 hours as an Effort Conversion Factor.

The next issue was my Work Schedule for Project -- I had entered a unique week for Thanksgiving. That week also had a disconnect between total work hours per calendar day vs. a resource's work day.

Bring all that into alignment and it works with a granularity of days.

What is weird is that I was able to enter a lot of information into my plan without the discrepancy showing up immediately. The settings were out of sync for a few days. Wonder what caused OPlan to decide to recalculate durations and effort on some but not all parts of the plan.

Hope this helps.
