How do I stop a task from splitting with multiple calendars

I want to create a task with two resources, one of whom can work on certain days (e.g. Tues, Wed), the other on a differnet calendar (Mon-Fri). MSP 2003 splits the task to Monday and Tuesday. However, I need the resources together at the same time (e.g. for a meeting).

How do I stop it from splitting the task?

I am not levelling the project, so playing with priority and "do not split" does not help. I do not want to create combined resource, as I would lose visibility of individual resource allocations.

Thanks for any hints.

Thanks for your question, however we cover these questions on our intro/inter Project, to try to explain this in a forum answer would be long and laborious.

Hi Kevin

You can overwrite Project's work allocations in Resource Usage view. Simply type in the hours you want the resource to work on the selected day. The work will be marked as EDITED in the indicator column. Note that Project will not be able to level the work for this task when you override the programming in this way.

Regards

Alan
