Calendar

[Dave]

I have Projects 2000 but can't seem to set the default times for the
calendar. I would go to "Change Working Time" and click on the Options
button below, correct the default working times to what I want it to be, then
press the "Set as Default" button yet nothing happens. Any idea what I need
to do

Hi Dave,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup

The set as default button sets the parameters you have just entered for
future data entry. It will not change the Change Working Times calendar
which is altogether different. You might like to see FAQ Item: 5. Default
Working Hours

FAQs, companion products and other useful Project information can be seen at

Hope this helps - please let us know how you get on

hi Dave,

When you change default settings for start and end times, you may want to
consider matching the project calendar by changing working time. Click Change
Working Time on the Tools menu, select the days you want to change, and then
type the new start and end times in the From and To boxes. To change a day of
the week for the entire calendar, select the day at the top of the calendar.

Microsoft Office Project uses the default start time when you enter a start
date without specifying a time and the default end time when you enter a
finish date without specifying a time. For example, if you enter a finish
date of 10/20/04 for a task but don't enter the end time, Project uses the
default end time. The task is scheduled according to the assigned project,
task, or resource calendar. For example, if the project calendar specifies a
start time of 8:00 P.M., and you set the default start time to 7:00 A.M., a
new task you enter with a start date of 10/20/04 will start at 8:00 A.M., not
7:00 A.M. The time from 7:00 A.M. to 8:00 A.M. is non-working time. However,
the task will have a Start No Earlier Than (SNET) constraint of 10/20/04 7:00
A.M.

Kind regards,
