Perform Work on Weekend but Not Start on Weekend

[Marv]

Although Saturday/Sunday are workdays, a task does not begin on a weekend.
Can I set some sort of constrant that allows work to be performed on a
particular day of week but not started on that date? Thank you.

The only way you are going to achieve that is by manually applying a 7 day
calendar to Tasks that won't finish by Friday close of business. Any other
method will allow tasks to start on the weekend as well.

Hi Marv,

There's no automatic way and manual adjustments can be aided, but I think you need to consider what the majority of tasks require and then schedule those. For example, are most tasks worked on over the weekend or is it just a few? Must any of the tasks not start at the weekend or only a few? If you can narrow down the minority, it might be worthwhile manual adjustment. A certain amount of automatic adjustment can be achieved by creating a milestone between tasks and setting that milestone (via a calendar) to occur 1 minute before start work on Monday.
