Hi,
I am having a problem working with nondefault calendar.
I am using MS Project 2007 (office with SP2 - Language Portuguese)
Situation:
1. Start a new project.
a. create a task with duration of 1 day in a friday
b. create a second task with duration of 1 day and make a constraint Finish to Start (the second starts when the the first task finishes).
c. Look at Gantt chart. You will see the first task starting and finishing on Friday and the second task starting and finishing on Monday.
2. Create a new calendar based on default calendar:
a. On the Tools menu, click Change Working Time.
b. Click New.
c. In the Name field, type Test Calendar and then click OK.
d. In the calendar grid, select Monday to Friday.
e. Under Set selected date(s) to, click the Nondefault working time option.
f. In the From and To boxes, change to 08:00 to 12:00 and 13:00 to 17:00
g. Make Saturday and Sunday nonworking time.
3. Click OK
4. On Tools menu, click Options.
5. On tab Calendar change:
a. Default start time to : 08:00
b. Default end time to: 17:00
6. Click OK
7. On Project menu, click Project information
8. Change the calendar to the one created before, Test Calendar.
9. Click OK
Now look again at Gantt chart. You will see the first task starting on Frinday and finishing on Monday, before 8:00. The ending date of this task is Monday!!
What could be the problem? Is it a Project issue?
Note that both calendars have working days of 8 hours.
And the default time (Tools/Options/Caldendar) was just changed from 9:00 to 18:00 to 8:00 to 17:00 (same periods)
Thanks in advance
