Hi Kimberly,

I did search for answers before posting, but didn't find the one you linked to. It was very enlightening, thanks.

I have one remaining problem with the workaround though - if I set max units down to 1%, then the resources immediately show up as overallocated. This seems to conflict with what Julie said on the forum you linked to:

"the amount of work will be very small but you
can still see the utilization and check for overallocations"

Am I missing something here? Is it something to do with the order in which I enter tasks and resources, and when I check and uncheck the effort driven box?

I guess if physical resource allocation is not critical, but I just want to track costs, I could enter them as material, and give them each a cost per use, right?

Cheers,
Benson
