Using MS Project as Shift Schedule

[Roy]

I have a 5 day work week, 5 people that cover a 10 hour work day. I must use
MS Project 2003 to setup a shift schedule. Each person works 2 hours per day
on the shift.

HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLP

Hi Roy,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup

Shift working hours are set up in Tools/Change Working Hours. But we need
more information. Do you want 2 shifts of 5 hours each or 5 shifts of 2
hours? Or is it that you want to keep a single day as 10 hours and restrict
workers to only 2 hours? Or what?

FAQs, companion products and other useful Project information can be seen at
this web address: http://project.mvps.org/faqs.htm

Hope this helps - please let us know how you get on
