Hi
I have some taskes that their resources must go to the trip,in trip their
cost is different and we must to pay them for all 24 hours
How can I set their cost across the trip?

There is more than one way to do this, perhaps others will post as well.
You can assign the 24 Hour Calendar to the trip tasks, and enter the work
hours as 24 hours per day on the trip.

Remember you may need to add additional costs for food, hotel, rental
automobile and other incidental fees.

In Project 2007, there are additional cost type fields that could also be
used.

In the event the hourly wages ($/hr) are different for travel time, or while
on travel, you will need to create separate tasks for these portions of the
travel.

On the resource sheet, double click the resource name. Click the Cost tab.
Use the different cost tables (A, B, C, D) to create the correct rates for
the different portions of the travel. Click OK.

In the Gantt chart, create all the necessary tasks and assign resources.

Go to the Resource Usage View, insert the Cost Rate Table column, and assign
an appropriate rate table for each task. The default is Table A.

Example: Suppose a resource is paid $20/hr. Here in California (USA) the
minimum wage is $8/hr. In Rate Table A, place $20/hr as standard rate. In
Rate Table B place $8/hr as standard rate.

Create tasks in the Gantt Chart. Travel to Offsite, Attend Meeting, Rest
Period.
In the Resource usage view, assign Rate Table B to "Travel to Offsite" and
"Rest Period", assign Rate Table A to "Attend Meeting"

***
Some people just create a second resource on the resource sheet, and use a
different pay rate. However, this may make resource leveling more difficult.

Thanks for you helpful guids, should I assign different calender to my
resources? if yes, how can I do it ? because my resources have to work more
than 8 hours per day...
and a new question , how can I assign overtime to resources automatically ?

Tools/Change Working Time...
Create a new calendar as needed.

Calendars can be assigned by resource, or by task.
Fo tasks, select the desired calendar from the Advance Tab of the Task
Information Dialog Box (just double click the task)

As far as I know, Project does not automatically create OT, you have to
manually enter it as OT. See the OT Work colulmn. Search the help on
"Overtme Work" for additinal information.
