There are columns for start and end dates. I added a duration column, then wanted to see the number of days for each task (from each start to end). Is this possible? Can eccoMagix help? I use win xp and the catalyst tools would not install. Thanks Steve

Yes,

http://eccowiki.com is a good place to start for slang extension.

the 'guide to the perplexed' in eccotools.com board is good place for most else.

you might even post in the yahoo Ecco_pro forum for help with a rule to compute duration.

(there actually are rules, but haven't been able to get everyone to post in SRules.com board where is most helpful.

maybe search the ecco_pro board for "++:" and see ...

hope helpful.
