Actually, it's one business day. If the date in Excel is a Monday, the finish date in Project will be the Friday before. We're really not using Project as it is intended. The employee I replaced had a schedule set up that is basically using our contract as the project and work orders as tasks and these tasks have a fixed start date and a fixed finish date. Our customer wanted a graphical schedule and the guy chose Project and now I'm stuck with it until I can redesign it in Microsoft Access. I just haven't been able to find out why the finish date is automatically changed.
