Duation Type and % Complete Type

Question

Hi,
I'm having trouble getting the
desired effect with Duration Type and %Complete Type. What
I want to be able to do is add resources to a activity and
have its duration reduced.
Example:<br
/>Activity 1 has a duration of 10 days with one
resource if I add another resource of the same type I
expect activity 1 to reduce its duration down to 5
days.
Now I am able to achieve this
by setting;
Duration Type: "Fixed Units"<br
/>% Complete Type: Units
and
User
Preferences<br
/>    ->
Calculations<br
/>           ->
Resource Assignments<br
/>              
Check Recalculate Units...
The
Problem that I am having is when I adjust the "Units %" to
say 50% it reduces the activities remaining duration 50%
and the 'At Completion' duration 50%, instead of just
halfing the remaining duration.
If
I reset the "Units %" to 0 then change the "Duration Type"
to 'Fixed Duration & Units' I get the desired effect,
setting "Units %" to 50% reduces the 'Remaining Units' by
half and Gnatt chart responds the way I expect it
to.
My question is how can I
achieve the desired effect of adding new resources reduces
the duration and changing the % complete reduces the
remaining units only? or is this not possible.<br
/>
Thanks
Munga
