Tasks using multiple resources

I am using Project 2007 and trying to schedule tasks that use more than one resource, for example a meeting that both Joe and Jim need to attend. If I make the duration one day and allocate both resources, the Resource Usage shows Jim allocated for 7.5 hours and Joe allocated for 0 hours, so Joe is scheduled for other tasks that day.

If I make the meeting for a specific date, both Jim and Joe are both allocated for 7.5 hours. Any other Constraint Type gives the above results, regardless of the Task Type applied.

Any ideas?

Ms project tip:

Enter a Date

You can enter today's date (or tomorrow's date) in a date field, by simply typing in the word 'today'or 'tomorrow') and Project will insert the date for you.
