I need to create a night shift task calendar starting at 20;45 and ending 5:30 the next day. As it is obvious I am new to project, please take pity***

Thanks

Stuart

P.S. How will it affect re-scheduling with tasks of different calendars?

    If you have a standard load of MSP then have a look at how MSP creates the Night shift calendar in “Project 1” when you open the software.

    can i just expand on the question. i wish to start work at 20:00 (8pm) and finish 06:00 (6am). However MS Project will not allow me to do this, telling me that my end time must be after my start time, how can it set my working day to for example.

    07:00 to 12:00
    12:30 to 17:00
    17:30 to 20:00
    20:30 to 02:00

    If you want to do this for 5 days the calendar settings would be;

    Sunday work is 8:00pm to midnight
    Monday is Midnight to 6:00am
    Tuesday to Thursday as Monday
    Friday is Midnight to 6:00am

    Look at the MSP Night Shift Calendar this will give you a lead.
