How to have linked two tasks finish and start on same day.

Joey_Cho

Here are a couple of options. In this example a custom Project calendar was created based on the Standard calendar except Saturday and Sunday are normal working days. For the first two tasks, a Task Calendar was selected using the built-in 24 hour calendar. Keep in mind that Project only allows one definition for a "day" so with a default 8 hour workday, "task a" completes at midnight but "task b" then starts immediately on the same day (i.e. 1/13/23). For the second two tasks with the 7d workweek, "task d" will start on 1/13/23 as long as "task c" finishes before end of shift on 1/13/23.

You could also extend the work hours of the 7 day calendar (e.g. 9 hour workday) such that an 8 hour task will finish at 5:00 PM and a successor task will than start at 5:00 PM since there is still one hour left in the workday.

Lot's of options, it all depends on what you are trying to do.

Hope this helps.
