Micrology,
Let me ask this... if you scheduled a task for the entire calendar month of January and then resource leveling or new dependencies pushed the task back, would you expect it then to take up the calendar month of February? The issue here is that, in 2008 (leap year) it would have to become 2 days shorter. If the answer is yes, I believe what you really want is monthly scheduling granularity. Any task that would normally begin after the first working moment of the month would be automatically pushed to the next month. Task end dates would be automatically pushed out to the end of the month. Play with Day granularity on the Project inspector to get some idea of what that might feel like.
If that's what you need, let us know and we'll put in a vote for you.
