Microsoft Project >> Differing task Types I have an Integrated Plan with approx 20 sub-projects linked into it. I have
noticed that these plans are a mixture of Fixed Unit default task type plans
and Fixed Duration default task type plans. Is this a problem when the
Integrated plan performs its calculations?

Microsoft Project >> Differing task Types Hello Steve,
No problem. These settings are used task by task to drive the way Project
will equilibrate the equation :
Duration x Units = Work
... when you change one of the three members.

Microsoft Project >> Differing task Types Hi Steve,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup :)

Not that I'm aware of. It is a task-level setting that Project takes into
account when you change the assignment of resources on that task. Should
you do so, then it could result in a recalculation of all the projects in
your integrated plan depending upon how they're linked. Ditto if you level
resources after making the changes.

FAQs, companion products and other useful Project information can be seen at
this web address: http://www.mvps.org/project/

Hope this helps - please let us know how you get on :)
