I have a master project created. I'm inserting another project that has
tasks and is almost complete. The total duration for the project is 57 days;
however, when I maximize the project my master project's duration changes to
58 days. Why is this?

Hello T�,

Check the non-working days in the subproject calendar and master
project calendar. I imagine you'll find there is a non-working day in
the subproject file which is a working day in the master project file.

You can re-create what you report easily. Create a new project
starting next Monday. Mark next Wednesday as a non-working day.
Create a single task with 4 days duration. The task spans Monday
through Friday for 4 working days.

Create a new project and turn on the project summary task. (Tools >
Options, View tab.) Insert the 4 day project The master project
summary task initially reads 4 days. Expand the inserted project and
the master project project summary task will show 5 days. The master
project file summary task spans from Monday through Friday, but in the
master project Wednesday is a working day.

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.
