Task constraint on weekend work

J

Wedding project - trying to schedule the engagement photo sitting on Saturday
from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. I don't want to make that Saturday a working
day in general. I only want the sitting to be scheduled. I've tried Finish
no earlier than, Start no earlier than (scheduling from the project start) as
well as must finish on and must start on. I can usually get the end date to
be Saturday. When I try to schedule the start date on the same day it
changes the duration to 0 making it a milestone. I then try to give it a
duration of 2hours and it changes the start date to the following Monday. I
haven't assigned resources yet.

Hi,

Create a new base calendar where that Saturday is a Working day and assign
that calendar to the task (Task Information, advanced, Task Calendar)

that calendar to the task (Task Information, advanced, Task Calendar)
Then you can constrain the task to the appropriate day and time.
