PRJ4: HoursPerDay/HoursPerWeek Properties Return Wrong Values
ID: Q138691
|
The information in this article applies to:
-
Microsoft Project for Windows, version 4.0
-
Microsoft Project for the Macintosh, version 4.0
SYMPTOMS
The Microsoft Project Visual Basic for applications HoursPerDay and
HoursPerWeek properties return only integer values. These values should
return real numbers. For example, if you have hours per day set to 6.5, the
HoursPerDay property incorrectly returns 6.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, return the value of a 1 day or 1 week
duration task using Visual Basic code similar to the following:

'Save contents of Project DurationX field. You can use any of the three
'duration fields such as Duration1, Duration2, and Duration3.
Temp = ActiveProject.Duration1
'Enter a 1d or 1w duration into a task to calculate the true HoursPerDay
'or HoursPerWeek. For example:
ActiveProject.Duration1 = "1d"
'Return the correct hours per day or week to your function.
MsgBox ActiveProject.Duration1 /60
'Set the contents of the Duration field back to its original value.
ActiveProject.Duration1 = Temp
