The resource calendar has the 8 hr workday and 5 day work week. I'm
not sure where the issue is. Can someone help?

What I failed to make clear is that i.e. I have 6 days in 1 day which
isn't possible. 48 hours in one day is impossible.

Hi Cleo,

I didn't realise I was on the server newsgroup when I answered this :( I
shouldn't have answered as I don't have a server, so if this is related to
the use of a server, I hope someone else will step in. In a stand-alone
project what you are saying is, indeed impossible! I don't understand your
situation. Do you mean you have 6 days of work (48 hours) assigned to you
in a single day? If so, you are overallocated and need to resource level.
Project will do this for you via Tools/Resource levelling, whence Project
will delay tasks until you are available to work on them.

The resource graph from within Assign Resources show overallocations
from 2.5 days in one day to 6 days in one day. They showing having
worked this time and have time planned this way. Sounds like I need to
go into each project plan and scale down hours but I'm not sure how
since some of these tasks take weeks at a time. So I need some help
figuring this out. Thanks for your help though.

You're welcome, Cleo, I'm sorry I can't help further, as without a server, I
don't recognise "within Assign Resources", which I presume is some sort of
view. If nobody jumps in to help, I suggest we end this thread and you
could try posting a new one.:)
