multiple calendar in single project

[Manoj Balan]

In my project, the development activities are based on a 5 day week
manner and the project implementation is based on a 6 day week. So
I've created two different calenders (5 day week as project calender
and 6 day week for implenetation tasks) for my project. And I could
manage the scheduling. But when I checked the total duration(Summary
task), it is calculated based on the Project calendar, ie , the 5 day
wek calendar. So it shows less than the actual duration. Is there any
way to specify the formula for the summary task for the "Duration"
field.

Thanks in advance

I would follow the practice of one project for development and one for
implementation. Implementation may well suit a different PM and certainly
has different skills involved (though still some development for bug fixing
etc).

Alternatively assign the 6 day calendar to all tasks that need it under the
advanced tab of the Task Information dialog.
