Customize Timescale or Calendar

[smck]

Hi all, is it possible to customize either Timescale or the Calendar to show
that your week is 13 or 14 days instead of the 5 or 7 days it allows you to?
If not, is it possible with a macro and can you help or point me in the right
direction?

As always, your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

smck,
I must be missing something. How can a week be more than 7 days? What
exactly are you trying to do? If we knew your end goal then maybe we
could help. But as your question is posted, the short answer is "no".

Thank you John, that's what I thought however I was asked this question by
someone who wants to schedule a full 13 or 14 days without a break and call
that their week. Since I might not be aware of all the available options I
thought I was missing something.

The only way I think they may be able to accomplish something close is to go
to Tools, Options, Calendar and change the days per month to 13 or 14. I am
not sure of the impact this would make, do you think this makes sense?
Thanks for your input.

smck,
It sounds like this person needs to use a 24 hour calendar. Either that
or change the working time calendar to reflect working and non-working
days in groups of 13 or 14.

If you change the definition of a week under Tools/Options/Calendar to
13 or 14 days per week, the only thing that will do is to use that
definition when displaying weeks in the Duration field. For example, a
duration of 13 or 14 working days will show as 1 week.

That seems likea great work-around. I will try that option and let you know
how it worked out.

smck,
OK, I'm not sure which "work-around" you are referring to, but sure, let
us know how it works out for you.
