exactly what I was looking for! thanks again PDQbach!

Here's my situation: I have a task of a particular project that runs for a couple months. I have one resource assigned to this task. At this point the task is about 3wks from completion. The probelm is that the resource assigned to this task has to be used elsewhere, so I need to assign another...

Interesting idea...I'm gonna do some work on that one. I'll let you know how it turns out. Thanks!

Well I feel better knowing that I'm not just totally missing something! I figured this was the case, so I'll be sure to let you know if I find a better way. Thanks very much for you help, you certainly know what you're doing. thanks again!

Seems you've explained this relationship many times before! I'd like to think I have a pretty good understanding of the work/units/duration relationship as I use it many times a day. I think maybe I'm just not explaining my point correctly, which I think is a very simple point. I'll try again...

yes that is my understanding of how material works, which is fine. I guess I just have to get used to the fact that project treats equipment the same as an employee becuase equipment does work. I wish that I could just assign "welder 1" to a task without it contributing actual work, while at...

The problem with switching a resource to a material is that it won't show overallocation probems. Unless I'm doing something wrong, I believe you can assign a material to mutltiple tasks occuring at the same time and the program won't see it as a problem. I guess if I want to assign equipment...

Is there away to assign equipment to a task as a resource, without it changing the duration or work hours? For example if a resource "bob" is working on a task, and he needs "welder 1" for the whole task. I've tried doing it a couple ways, and it always messes up my hours and duration. Prjoect...

I've actually answered my own question with some more messin around. In the resource list, in the base calendar colum there was some calendar listed that doesn't exist and it was screwing everything up.

I'm having a problem setting vacation/holidays on my project. When I select a resource from my resource pool, and then click the "change working time button" I select the calendar that I want to use. (in this case standard) However, once i click ok to save the change in calendar, it resets...

Um, yeah that would probably be much more useful huh? I just joined this thing so I didn't know that existed. Thanks!
