I meant 10 mins... :P

I've been working a few years now with MS Project, so I thought that it would be the same way of estimating duration. So if you put in 1.45 in D-tools you are missing approx 22 mins compared to MS Project. It was the fact that D-tools wouldn't accept 1:45 as a time format that made me check if it would accept 1.75 - and it did. So I then spent about an hour recalculating the labor hours on all items in a project just to find out that I got 8 more hours of billable hours. Thats about $800 extra that was discovered by a coincidence.
