Resource availability

[Byron9261]

I have a task that 2 resources will be supporting. The first resource can
start immediately and the second resource will start a few weeks later which
I indicate in the availablitly window. When I add the resources to the task
it schedules BOTH to start immediately. The resource usage sheet shows the
hours before the availability date as red for the second resource.

Any suggestions.

Hi Byron,

Suggestion? Don't us ethe availability window, put the non-availability as
nonworking time in the calendar.
Availability is ONLY taken into account for planning by Resource Leveling.

Hi

by "availability window" do you mean the Resource Availability section of
the General tab of the Resource information dialog box?
if so, what have you actually typed in there?

also what version of project?
Cheers
