Resources in Microsoft Project

All,
I need help figuring out how to handle a business scenario in Microsoft
Project. Here is my dilemma. I have a project that has multiple task and
resources. One of the tasks has duration of 16 hours spread over five years.
There are 3 resources assigned to this task. Currently, Microsoft Project
treats this task as a one day or two day task depending on how many resources
I add to the task. The actual performance for this task is spread over the 5
year window. An hour of work is done in the last year. How can I get
Microsoft Project to correctly distribute the resource time and to show a
start to finish that covers the entire 5 years needed for this task? HELP
PLEASE!!!!

Wrong group. This group is for .NET programming using the C++/CLI language.

You could try microsoft.public.project or microsoft.public.project.developer
