Customising the calendar

[woodnoggin]

I've got a bit of a strange question. I'd like to set the calendar year
as having 400 days and change the length of months and weeks. I'd also
like to rename the months and days. Is this possible in Project and if
so how would I go about it?

Hope someone can help!

Thanks,
Rich

Rich,
No and yes, with the "no" being the stronger. As installed Project works
on standard calendar time. A year is 365+ days and months are 28, 30 and
31 days. To create any other calendar sequence an advanced feature of
Project is needed. By using VBA, timescaled data from Project can be
export to another application (e.g. Excel) where it can be re-organized
into any sequence desired. Just for reference, certain types of
industries do use a financial monthly calendar based on a 4-4-5 (or
similar) sequence for months, and in these cases, VBA is required to
translate the data.
