Saturday not Working

[Storm]

I need this short project to work on Saturday. I created a new Working Time
calendar ("6 Days") showing Saturday as a Nondefault Working Time and set the
hours. I assigned this new calendar to the Resources and to the Tasks. The
project still does not schedule anything on Satruday, even though my critical
path is still in the red.

I sure would appreiate a clue!

Did you set the custom calendar as the Nonworking Time calendar by doing the
following:

1. Click Format - Timescale.
2. Click the Non-working Time tab.
3. Select the custom calendar on the Calendar pick list.
4. Click the OK button.

The above set of steps will not change the schedule of the project, but will
change the display of the Gantt Chart to show the nonworking time for your
custom calendar, which should show only Sundays as nonworking time. Also,
how to you know for sure that the software did not schedule tasks on
Saturdays? Did you examine the Task Usage or Resource Usage views to
confirm this? Let us know.

Also, you did not need to specify the custom calendar as a Task Calendar on
every task. That step was not needed and you should remove it as the Task
Calendar for every task and set the Task Calendar back to None for every
task. Beyond this, you SHOULD set this custom calendar as the Project
Calendar by clicking Project - Project Information, selecting the custom
calendar in the Calendar pick list, and clicking the OK button.

Hope this helps.
