Hi,

Try this,

Create a task with this setting

  • Schedule mode : auto schedule
  • Task calendar : 24 Hours
  • Task type : Fixed Work
  • Task duration : 72 hours (03 days and nights)

Create 03 ressources,

  • Set to each one, one of the calenders you created 'Day', 'Even' and 'Night'

Assign the 03 ressources to the task

  • Adjust the working time of each ressource to 24 hours (03 days x 08 hours per day)

      WaaWaaW 

      Try reversing your entry

      12 am to 2 am

      5 pm to 12 am

      Some versions of Project will automatically reverse the sequence to the above even if you entered it the other way but apparently your version does not, instead it gives you an alert.

      Hope this helps.
