Calendar - day and night shift

[jobu9999]

I'm scheduling a project with a 7 day/10 hour day shift (0700 to 1730 hours)
and a 7 day/10 hour night shift (1700 to 0330 hours). I'm having a terrible
time doing this. Proj tells me that I'm ending a shift before the start time
of a shift. I tried creating 2 calendars (day and night) - still having the
same issue. I've read help in great detail and can find no guidance for my
dilemma.
PLEASE help!

I found a post from Mike Glen (a worthy gentleman!) that I THINK tells me
what I should do:
Create a night shift calendar with a starting time of 1200 am to 0330 (first
row), then 1700 to 2130 (second row), then 2200 to 1200 am (third row). The
third row is for work restart after lunch break.

Is this the right way to do it?

Thanks!

Yes - that's the idea!

Hi,

Yes; Mike tells you how to enter the night shift.
The day shift is as usual.
