resource displayed in red

[Tom]

On the Task Usage View, one of my resources is displayed in red font, but it
is not overallocated. The hours of work available and remaining hours are
both displayed in a red font also. The resource is available 8 hours a day
so I can not figure out where it's overallocated. Also, the resource Graph
displays the respource in the red font but I have checked and the resource is
never used over 100% per work day.

Hi Tom,

It's possible the resource is overallocated (assignment units greater
than max. units) for less than a day. Project will change a resource's
name red to mark overallocation if the total assignment units (called
Peak by Project) is greater than his/her max. units for so much as one
*minute* in one day.

See FAQs #34 "Overallocation Occurring in Less Than One Day" and FAQ #28
"Resource Levelling Does Not Remove Overallocation" at:

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.
