reset back to M-F working days

[Ken]

At one point I opened up the working days to a full 7-day week. Now I need
to reset the working days back to 5-day week. In MS P 2003, I have done the
Tasks --> Define Gen'l project working hours at 8 per day, but some tasks
still show Saturday, Sunday working times. How do I reset the schedule and
remove references to Sat / Sunday work hours?

Hi Ken,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup

I don't follow your request fully. How did you "opened up the working days
to a full 7-day week"? Did you create a new calendar or amend the standard
calendar? Have you tried resetting Project/Project Information... and
selecting the Standard Calendar? I don't recognise your procedure to:
"Tasks --> Define Gen'l project working hours at 8 per day" - how did you do
that?

You could try Tools/Organizer.../Calendars tab and copy the Standard
calendar on the left in Global.mpt to your project on the right. Then
reselect the Standard calendar in Project Information.

Hope this helps - please let us know how you get on

Mike,
Thanks for the reply.
By opened up I mean I changed the working days from 5 to 7 by amending the
standard calendar. Yes, I have tried resetting Project information to
standard calendar. The procedure mentioned is done with a project open, see
Tasks, then click on Define Gen'l project working hours --the wizard then
guides your options thru 5 steps to set the working hours.

I used this process to confirm working hours as M-F only....but Sat and Sun
still show in my tasks and active days for work.

Hi,

Better turn back to the old and well-proven method
Tools, Change working time, select S-S, "Use default".
The define general working hours through the tasks pane is very poor and
completely iseless.

Thanks for your explanation, Ken. As I never use the Tasks I was unfamiliar
with the terminology! Did you try re-loading the Standard Calendar from the
Organizer?
