Setting Work Days?

Hi Ken
The project calendar is just a default for new activities.
I assume you want to plan with fixed durations. So:
- Activity type: Task dpendent
- Task calendar: the one with working time during weekend.

Regards
Dieter

Thank you for help,

I have my activity type as Task Dependent, and my calendar is set to 7 day work week, still no time scheduled for weeeknds... any other possible fixes?

Did you check if the seven day work week calendar really was created as named?
I don’t know of such a restriction. In neneral we have this situation: 5 work days in Europe (Engineering), 6 with Friday off (Construction) and 7 for lead times.... It works.

I figured out that my activity calendar was wrong. I had my project calendar set to 7 days, resource calendar set to 7 days but my activity calendar was set to 5 days...

I appricate all your help. This site is an absolute god send for me. I am a 26 year old engineer with little field experience and even less planning experience, but trying to produce scheduling/planning/budgeting/everything else... just flying by the seat of my pants...hahahah... as they say, sink or swim!!

Good luck!

I would also recommend on your display column pick the calender display option, and you can change your calender on your activity. I find that much easier because the schedule i am dealing with involves levee and river work with 6 different calenders, and trust me, the Corps of Engineers has many restriction and simply tie your hands all the time.

That is exactly how i figured it out... and it is for sure the way to go

Thanks!!!!

Keep the advice coming!!!
