Changing resource calendar with a 24 hour project calendar

[Sal]

We have a project that is set up with a 24 hour calendar and resources that
are allocated either to a 24 hour or a 12 hour calendar. If we change a
task with a 24 hour resource calendar to a 12 hour resource calendar, the
task still showed as the resource working through the night as if they were
on the 24 hr calendar.

The task is a fixed unit task.

By doing this, our critical path also changes - any ideas why?

Thanks

Hi Sal,

What settings are in the 'Options' portion of the calendar. This area needs
to be set to reflect the hours in a project day, days in a project week and
project month, and the start and finish time needs to reflect the project as
well. If these aren't set then you can get funny results..

Hope this helps

Regards

Hi David,

I think I have it sussed (sorry to waste your time). I have noticed that
there have been Task Calendars set up against each task which in turn is
ignoring the Resource Calendars.

If I set them back to None in the Advanced Task tab, our scheduling is
working.

Thanks for you time
