Guys,
I was just checking to see which calendar, the Predecessor's or Successor's or the Project Calendar, is used for Lag calculation, so I set up two Tasks with Duration = 1 Day and a "Friday Only" Calendar for Task A, and then linked them FS with 5 "Days" Lag.
But I hit a surprising snag straight away, because the Friday Only Calendar does not even force Task A to start on the first Friday, ie allows it to start on the project Start Date, Wednesday 1/11/2006.
I even made a Summary Task and tried applying the Friday Only Calendar to that and Task B, but no dice because the two Tasks still start on Wednesday and the following Thursday respectively, regardless.
Checked and double checked. Yes, Calculation is on Auto. What's going on?
