Q135012

• Microsoft Project for Windows, version 4.0
• Microsoft Project for the Macintosh, version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft Project, when you paste link information from one project to another, the duration may appear to be incorrect in the destination file.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs if the projects have different default duration units and duration fields have been paste linked.

WORKAROUND

To cause the receiving file to calculate the same duration as the source file, change the Show Duration In parameter to match that of the source file.

MORE INFORMATION

Microsoft Project uses the binary interchange file format (BIFF) to pass information when it creates or uses DDE or OLE links; the data contains only the duration number, not the unit identifier. The unit identifier, then, is chosen from the receiving file's Schedule Options.
