How do I assign work for 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM in Project?

[LostProjectManager]

I cannot get Project to accept my night time crews schedule of 6:00 PM to
6:00 AM. HELP!

Within MSProject Professional, select Tools\Options\calendar and modify the
default working times.

Let me know how this goes.

Hi LostProject Manager,

The calendar times need to be entered so they don't span over 12:00 am
(midnight.) For example, if the night crews start work on Sunday night at
6:00 pm and finishes the shift at 6:00 am on Monday:
Choose Tools > Change Working Time to open the Change Working Time dialog
box.
Select all Sundays by clicking on the column heading for Sunday.
Enter 6:00 pm in the From: box. Enter 12:00 am in the To box.
Then select all Mondays by clicking the "M" column heading.
Enter 12:00 am in the From box and 6:00 AM in to To box (first row.)
In the next row down enter 6:00 pm in the next From box and 12:00 am in the
To box.

You may want to take a look at the "Night Shift" base calendar in the Change
Working Time dialog box for some guidance.

Hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.
