Task Start/Finish Days

[betty_boop]

I have a 2 day task that can start on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or
Thursday, and must end by Friday midnight. How do I accomplish that?

It can run any week of the month. The task has a predecessor that is setup
with a calendar of restricted weeks, and a successor that must start on a
Saturday. I have a fake task/calendar setup to control the Saturday start.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Would specifying a task constraint that the task must 'Finish no later than"
Friday help? This option is available for each individual task.

I don't want to specify a date, the finish date could be any Friday or also a
Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, depending upon where the previous task ends.

I have gotten around this for now by coding a 1 minute predecessor task with
a calendar where all the Fridays are blocked out. That way it can only start
on a Mon, Tue, Wed, or Thur, and will finish on Friday or before.

Thanks for the suggestion,
Betty
