Why are tasks being assigned to non-working days?

[JodyC]

I am a Project beginner, so please forgive me if this is elementary. I've
set up a simple project with linked tasks, durations and resources. At the
beginning I "changed working times" on specific holidays and identified them
as non-working days. Those days show up as greyed out on the gantt chart
just like weekends, but the system still schedules tasks to complete or begin
on those days instead of skipping over them like it does the weekends. What
am I doing wrong? Or am I anticipating that the system will do something it
does not?
Thanks for any insight!

Hi JodyC,

Welcome to the Project newsgroup. All sounds fine in the set up of your
project, but the scheduling of the tasks on "non-working" days is definitely
out of the ordinary.

You mention that you have resources set up. Are the resources' base
calendars set to the same calendar as the project? Check the resource sheet
and confirm.

Hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

Julie

JodyC --

To which calendar did you add the holidays? Is this calendar set as the
Base Calendar for each resource listed in the Resource Sheet view of your
project? Let us know.
