Task is shown starting on a non workind day

[smithersbig]

I have a task with a task calander assigned to it, with work days
specified from Oct. 31 to Dec. 31st. But the early start for this task
is listed as June 8; which is defined as a non working day for the task
calander. Is there any way to make the early start date and Gnatt
chart show Oct. 31st? I feel that MS Project is handling the
working/non working days in its calculations of finish dates, but it
shows a start date that is defined as a non working day. Can anyone
help?

Hi smithersbig,

I just tried to reproduce what you are seeing on a simple 2 task project
using Task A and Task B. Task A is the predecessor to B and finishes on
7 June. Initially Task B (without task calendar) is scheduled to start
on 8 June. When I create the task calendar with non-working time from 1
June to 30 October, and apply the task calendar to Task B, the Start and
Early Start both update to 31 October.

Is there any working time (even so much as 1 minute) on 8 June?

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.
