Just a quick example: Task 'Build Walls' is due to run from 6th October for 15 days and Bob is assigned to do the work. However, Bob is on leave from 13th October for 5 days. I'd like Joe to build the walls while Bob is away enjoying himself, and for Bob to pick the work back up and complete the job when he returns on 20th October. Is there a way to do this in Project, without creating multiple tasks? -- Abo
Hi, Yes: Enter Bob's holiday in his Calendar Set the task to not effort driven, assign Joe to the task In Task Usage view, contour Joe's work to fill the gap Decrease Bob's work to make the total fit.

Ah, I've just realised that forums.techarena.in MSP help is a replication of a usenet group.

Or, enter Bob's holiday in his calendar. Allocate Bob to work 10 days at 100% and Joe to work 5 days at 100% on the task. In the resource sheet change Joe's start date on the task to the first day of Bob's holiday. This way the task can remain effort driven and the task type fixed work.
