How to allocate a part time resource in MS Project Professional 2010?

Hi

I'm having a problem in MS P 2010. I have a resource who is available
to my project 50% of the time. I have given him a Max allocation in
the resource sheet of 50%.

I'm trying to allocate a task to him that I know will take 8 hours.
If he was available to me a full day - say June 30th, I know he would
complete the task in that day.

However, since he's available half time, I expect him to do half a day
on June 30 and half on July 1. Currently my project is showing
completion on June 30, (as though I had him for the full day).

How can I fix this so his allocation spills into July 1?

Thanks,
Chris

Hi,

Bring up the task details form (or display the work column); make sure
the allocation is at 50% and set the work to 8hrs. This should spread
the work over two days.
