Change calendar to accomodate new working hours

Z

Hi,

My firm has a 6 day working week(48 hour - friday being holiday) and all
projects and resources adhere to this 6 day(48 hours) working week. From July
1st 2007, there is a going to be a company wide change to 5 day week(i.e. 40
hours - friday & saturday being holidays).

We have many existing project plans in EPM which run till end of 2007.
1. Could you please tell me how to change/modify the calendar of an existing
project plan to reflect new working hours without really changing the dates
and duration of tasks completed before July?

I plan to do the following, but i think it is going to be very tedious. If
you have a better idea, please let me know.
1. I will not modify the existing project calendar( 6 day week )
2. Create a new base calendar called '5 day week'
3. Modify resources in the Enterprise Resource Pool to use the '5 day week'
calendar instead of the earlier one.
4. Modify tasks that are not complete( i.e. not complete as of July 1st) to
use the '5 day week' calendar.

Please let me know if you know of a better way out.

Thanks.
