Just wondering if there is any way to label specific days on a MSP calendar. We need to blank out several days for things like ’No Power on Site’ so that our contractor knows when to pull his staff back. It would be nice to have a labelled band running vertically down the gant chart with this detail in it - so far I cannot see how this can be done..

    I have similar problem in showing the week-ends to Thu/Fri as the gray band is fixed to Sat/Sun. Note that Thu/Fri is the week-end in Arabic countries.

    There is no levelled non working day band in MSP. You can edit the day you want non working that will show in bar area then you insert the text (reason of non working day) on the band. Hope this will help you to identify non working day.

    Select Thu & Fri then make them non default working time and Sat & Sun as non working time in calander.This will change weekend as Thu & Fri as you want it.

    Raj,

    But still the gray band in the graphics won’t move to Thu/Fri. BTW, which version are you using?

    I am using MSP version 2000 and it is working even though if select any specific day as non working day that also shows in bar area as band of non working day. I think it works in lower version of MSP also.

    Raj,

    Do I need to do that for all the 36 months of the project duration? Is there no automatic way?

    You don’t need to do for each month seperately, it will show automatically. If you feel any problem then just select all date( not day) of month and click default button.You can check for other months.
