1 day lag

[Mario]

Dear all,
1 want to set lags with a lenght of certain days, not by definition working
days.
If a task starts on thursday, and the next task then should be performed 2
days later, i want it to be saturday, not monday.
Things like 2 = 1ss+2ed does not do the trick.
Any suggestions?
I dont want to shift to 7 working days per week. I just want a warning that
the 2nd task starts on saturday and if i am willing to accept that.
Is this possible at all?

Mario,
I sounds like you want your cake and be able to eat it to. Either
weekends are working or they are not. For any given task you can't have
it both ways.

If you don't want to make the weekends working days, but you want a
warning if a lag would cause the successor task to start on a
non-working day, then the best you can do is to create a VBA macro to
test each lag and task start. However, this gets a bit dicey because
when the lag is applied, other tasks further down the line could be
shifted, some into non-working days and other not.

I suggest you use a 7 day calendar. Then check each task. If you don't
want it to start on a weekend day, modify the calendar for that task.
