How do I change the project calander from 5 day to 7 day week?
in [Project]
|
From: Gary48 on 1 May 2008 20:35 I have a project that spans from May 06 to Jan 08. The project calander was initially set up with holidays as non work days and a 5 day work week. I want to change holiday non-work days to work days and change to a 7 day work week and reflect this in completed as well as in-progress and scheduled activities.

Gary48, You can change the working calendar to have a seven day work week but I question the validity of converting company holidays to work days and the idea of trying to do this for completed tasks makes no sense at all - history is history - it's done. I suggest you open the working time calendar (Tools/Change Working Time) and starting from today, make all weekends and future holidays (if you really must) nondefault working time. Then go to Tools/Options/Calendar tab and set the Hours per week to be 56, assuming you are still using a standard 8 hour work day. I wouldn't change the Days per month because it can never truly reflect a seven day work week. John Project MVP

From: "Steve House" sjhouse at hotmail dot on 4 May 2008 17:13 Do you mean your resources will never get a day off between May and January????? That's what setting a 7 day work-week implies - not just that we have various work schedules that overlap to cover all 7 days of the week but rather no one on the project team ever gets a day off between when the project starts and when it ends. If all your resources are machines - maybe - but human beings can't work that way. -- Steve House [Project MVP] MS Project Trainer & Consultant Visit http://project.mvps.org/faqs.htm for the FAQs "Gary48" <Gary48(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:E8B08599-BEBB-43C9-A394-B2448A8828AD(a)microsoft.com... >I have a project that spans from May 06 to Jan 08.
