TINA - Different calendars in one project

[Tina Marie]

Hi ...

I have a project where I am using 2 different calendars ... one is 7 days a
week from 8 to 6 1/2 hour lunch and the other is 5 days a week 7 to 5 1 hour
lunch ... I put the 'most common' calendar in as the 'project calendar' and
then for any individual tasks that required the 2nd calendar, I applied it as
a 'task calendar' ... and yet when you turn on time on the start and end
columns, you do not see the time change ... the durations go into decimals
(and I have the tools/options/calendar tab in sync with the project calendar)
.... am I doing something wrong or is there a sequence of events?

The other alternative was to break the project down into 2 small projects
and let them have their own calendars as project calendars and then bring
them together in a consolidated project?

Any suggestions would be appreciated ... thanks, Tina

Hi,

You must see the time change. Duration is hourd divided by hours per day
which is found in Tools, Options, Calendar and thois constant is independent
of the calendar used.
