Scheduling task to start at Midnight

[JJN]

I am trying to schedule a task and I want it to start at midnight. The
resource assigned to it has 12am as their start time, but Project shows the
task starting at 8am. What needs to be changed??
Thanks.

Hi,

Youn need to make sure that the calendar for both the task and the resource
allow work to start at 12am. This may mean creating a specific calendar to
allow for this time frame and assign that to the task. Project sets start
times for tasks using the task calendar, but if the resource calendar does
not alow the resource to start that task during the period set by the task
calendar then it will reschedule the start time to fit the resource calendar.
The opposite is also true, if the resource calendar allows a resource to
start earlier than the task calendar allows the task to start then the start
of the task will not start until the task calendar allows it to.

Hope this helps.
