Task Type

Hi Kellie, thanks for your query. Actually, some people rarely use Fixed Units as a task type, and you can change the default that comes up in project to the more useful Fixed Duration (for, say, meetings) or Fixed Work (where you want the task durations to shrink when resourced). However, here's a link to a good walkthrough and examples of Fixed Units as a task type:

Hope this helps,
