Thanks for all the guidance. Is the only way to have a 3-day task, that has 3 resources required to be there, to label the duration as 9 days so each resource is blocked for the full 3 days?

Great! Thanks!

How do I do I copy them directly? It seems to only be asking for a URL...

Here's the second file, which includes the "anchor task" solution as a means to preventing tasks from splitting over the weekend. I tried to experiment a little more with Yonkers, but didn't have any success. One thing I seem to be missing is a way to tell Project that I want persons A, B, &...

Sure thing... I'll attach two: The first is without using the "anchor task" solution you provided, where I tried to manually fix the schedule by forcing predecessors, which is feasable with this example, but when there are 10 times more training sessions scattered across the country, eyeballing...

...does it help identify the cause of the problem if I tell you that in the Team Planner view, a 4-day task shows up as 4 days for one person (and stretches across four days), but for a couple of other people the same task stretches across only two days?

The thing I'm struggling with is that when I'm in the Resource view, and I select one of those over-allocated resources, and tell it to level him/her... nothing happens. It's allowing 32 hours to be scheduled for someone in a particular day. It's as if there is some other constraint that is...

...one last thing about what you said regarding leveling... If I want to be sure that each trainer that I assign to each training session isn't double-booked for the same time slot for other training sessions (there could be as many as four trainers in some sessions, and then a different...

OOOOooooooo I think you nailed it... by adding the "Leveling Can Split" field alone. 8-) I couldn't find the "Split in Progress Tasks" option... what's the path in 2010? Once again, a million thanks!

Thanks Julie- I truly appreciate the assistance, but I am finding that with the multiple one-day & two-day trainings that I am trying to schedule, sometimes it will (to use your above exmple): Start task 1 on Monday, October 10th, and complete it on the same day. Start task 2 on Tuesday morning...

I can't believe there is no functionality to force Project to NOT split a task though... While your work-around does FACILITATE the starting of tasks only when there are enough days to complete the task in that same week, it doesn't FORCE those tasks to be completed in that same week. In...

Thank you Julie... so there isn't any sort of functionality in Project to prevent a multi-day task from being split by a weekend... bummer. That being the case, I think I understand your workaround... very clever. Let me paraphrase to make sure I'm getting it though: Before every 3-day...

I am trying to put together a training schedule that will involve a great deal of travel to a small number of employees. I don't want a "3 day training" to start on a a Friday and end on a Tuesday, as that would result in excessive per diem & lodging costs, so my objective is for Project (2010)...
