Hi John

Thank you for your question

You must first make sure that the calandar options located under Tools-options-calendar, are set the same as your defined base calendar.

You then need to make your base calendar your project default calendar, by clicking on project-information and selecting the relevant calendar in the combo box.

Finally, if you have any resources assigned to the task with different working hours to the project default calendar, then this will alter the duration of the task.

As to making Saturday a work day. Click on the change working time option and select the working time tab. Then select the option button for Saturday and manually type the hours in.

Hope this helps

Regards

Stephen

Many thanks Stephen

MS Project tip:

Inserting Task Durations Quickly

When entering durations for your tasks simply use the single letters - m for min, h for hr, d for day, w for week, but mon for month. If default is set for days, you need only type the number, for example 3 for 3days, or 0.5 for half a day.
