RE: Night Work

Hi Stephen,

Thank you for your question.

If you go to Format and then Timescale. If you need to, choose to display three tiers. Assign Days to the top tier, Hours to the Middle tier and the bottom tier to Minutes changing the count to 30.

This should then show you the start of the task beginning on the previous day running into the next morning.

I hope this answers your question.

Regards

Simon

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.
