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

MS Project tip:

Link tasks using predecessor column - project

a. First, note ID number of the task you want to link to (predecessor). Then, in the predecessor column of the task you want to link to (successor), type the predecessor task's ID number.
b. The link will be a Finish to Start (the default type).
c. Or you can add in a code for a different relationship type
i. SS = Start to Start
ii. FF = Finish to Finish
iii. SF = Start to Finish
d. You don't have to type the task ID numbers in any specific order, but you must separate multiple tasks with commas.
