How do I change the project calander from 5 day to 7 day week?

[Gary48]

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.

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.
