Task calendar different than the Base calendar

[mmilos]

I am currently working a large plan for multiple sites. The Base calendar is
the normal 8 to 5 M-F with weekends off. I have one task the long pole which
is 120 days lead time but the days are consectutive. The 120 day task has
constraints within the normal plan. I'm having trouble getting the 120 day
task to be 120 days because of the constraints to the normal calendar. How
do I fix this??

Thanks

Have you tried creating and then applying a "working weekend" type calendar
to the 120 day task? This is done under "Advanced Tab" of the task
information screen? If you have resources assigned to this task also check
the box to "ignore resource calendars".

Hi mmilos,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup

Have you tried a lead of 120ed for elapsed days?
