Neik - P3e has a feature that allows resources to be "unlinked" from driving activity durations (dates). This has nothing to do with calendars.
This is a new feature to version 4.0 and above - all previous versions had this enabled by default. The newer versions allow for users to disable this either at the activity level, or at the project level.
Have you referenced the help file in P3e? Its fairly comprehensive - and actually has a section that describes how non-driving resources are used in the activities calculated dates (early start, late finish, etc).
The first ’problem’ is that P3e does not have the "driving resource" mechanism.
In P3e an activity is either resource dependent or task dependent. In the first option it will schedule an activity when any of the assigned resources is available through their individual resource calendar. In the second option the resource calendars are ignored and the activity calendar is used.
Hope this helps,
Niek.
