Project 2003 Tasks

[chris_pata]

Can I or is it possible to create a task specifying an specific start time?
Example: February 19th @ 3:00pm for a duration of 2 hours.

Short answer is yes. In the start field simply type in the date and time.
Format is (using your example and assuming you have the options set to show
dates as mm/dd/yy) 02/19/08 3:00 p.m.

Word of caution though it is not a good idea in general, to fix start times,
unless it is the first task in the project, or you simply do not want it to
start any earlier, and will not start earlier. It is surprising how many
times I find first guesses at when something can start, and it ends up
starting earlier.

hope this helps

You can key a date, including time 2/19/2008 3:00PM into the Start column.
Ordinarily, keying dates into Project is considered sinful, but it can be
done.

If you desire to see the specific times, you can display the time alons with
the date. Tools/Options/View (tab) and select the Date format of your
choice (2nd drop box from the top).
