Making Resources Work on Non-Working Day

Hello there

I am facing a problem using MS Project 2003, & here’s the scenario.

- I want a resource in a project to work on a non-working day for a task.
- The Project Plan is connected to another .mpp file being used as a
Resource Pool.
- December 25, 2008 is defined as a non-working day in the Standard
calendar (which is also the base calendar for the resource) in the resource
pool.
- Task Calendar (custom-made: 7 days a week / 8:00-17:00) is applied on
that task & the task is set to ignore the resource calendar for scheduling.
- Project Plan shows that the task is set to be done on December 25, 2008.
- Project Plan is saved & Resource Pool is updated.
- The work hours are being reflected in the Resource Usage view of the
Resource Pool.
- Project Plan is closed & the work hours specified for that task to be
done on December 25, 2008 DO NOT appear in the Resource Usage view of the
Resource Pool anymore, while all the other activities scheduled for standard
working days are there.
- Project Plan is re-opened, and the work hours for December 25, 2008 start
appearing in the Resource Usage view of the Resource Pool.

Can anyone help in identifying why this is happening? and what is the
solution for viewing the tasks scheduled to be done on non-working days in
the Resource Pool, without keeping the project plans opened?

P.S. I've tried selecting both the options for Calendar or Resource
Information Conflict, i.e. Pool or Sharer takes precedence, but it didn't
work.

Thanks & Regards
Mohsin
