Assigning 1.5 resources to a task

[GMAN]

I have two resources working on independent tasks which both start at the
same time. Task one will end approximately 14 weeks prior to task two - at
which point my second resource will roll over to the first task to help
complete the task and reduce the duration. When I add the second resource to
the first task - it reduces the duration of the entire task by half - when in
reality - only the duration of the remaining weeks, when both individuals are
working together, should impact the duration of the entire task. How do I get
Project to calculate this correctly?

Thanks in advance,
GMAN

GMAN,
Why the double post? If you post but don't get an immediate answer, be
patient, don't post the same thing a second time.

I answered the later posting.

Hey John - thanks for the response to the first question. When I sent it - I
wasn't sure to which group I'd sent it or what I had called it - so I sent it
again. I haven't had time to check your answer from the 'other' question -
but will try out that suggestion.
