Project 2003 Resouce Issue

[Andrew]

We are using MS Project 2003 for a regular project. nothing fancy. We
are running into a problem. When we assign a particular resouce to one
task, the resouce is causing the start date of the task to unexpectly
move out 5 business days. When I look at the resouce's availability,
it looks great, no issues.

Here is more detailed information:

Task Start End Predecessor Successor Resouce

769 10/12/05 10/12/05 770
770 10/20/05 10/24/05 769 771FS2+1 day Person X
771 10/26/05 10/26/05 770FS+1 Person X

When I look at the resouce Person X I see that she is available
starting on 8/29/05. Her first task in the project plan is 770.

When I remove Person X as the resouce, the start date of task 770 moves
back to 10/13/05.

I tried searching the newsgroup for a similiar problem but could not
find anything.

Thanks for your help, it is probably a simple item I am missing.

Hi Andrew,
Just a quick stab in the dark....

You mention there is no issues with the resource's availability -- do you
check her working time calendar to see if there is non-working time from
10/13/05 to 10/19/05?

Hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.
Julie
