Limiting resources across simultaneous tasks

[tzarcone]

I have a situation where I have two simultaneous tasks (let's them TaskA and TaskB...both 4 weeks in duration....going on at the same time).

If I want a single resource to spend 2 weeks on TaskA and then 2 weeks on TaskB....how do I set up the task(s) and the resource availability.

I appreciate any help you all can provide.
