RE: saving bank holiday in standard calender

Hi Sally

Thank you for your question. You can do this by going to the Project tab, then choosing Change Working Time. This dialogue box opens with the standard calendar already selected for editing. Use the Exceptions table at the bottom of the dialogue box to enter the holidays on their respective 2012 dates.

In order for these dates to be used by all future project plans save your project as a template (File > Save as then set the file format to Project Template)

When you make a new plan start with this template and you will find your holidays are already set up in your new project.

I hope this helps - let me know if you have any questions.

Kind regards,

Andrew

Kind regards,

MS Project tip:

Keep constraining dates to a minimum

As far as possible avoid fixing the dates of your tasks. For example try to steer of clear dragging task bars in the Gantt chart to move them on the timeline or entering dates directly into the Start / Finish fields.

Date constraints such as these limit Microsoft Project's ability to automatically adjust your project whenever you add, remove or modify the duration of your tasks. Instead use the logic in your task dependencies that link your tasks to enable Project to calculate the start and finish dates for you.
