Changing the default calendar does not work

Hi

I have created a template which includes 2 calendars, a 5 day work week calendar and a 7 day work week calendar. The 5 day is the default, but when I make the 7 day calendar the default, future tasks entered do not use the 7 day one as the default, instead continuing to use the 5 day calendar.

The calendars were created using the wizard. I have tried copying the calendars into a project based on the blank template and they don't work as expected there. I have copied calendars from the Construction template to my template and they DO work as expected, so there is definitely something wrong with the calendars.

I would attached the template but I can't see this as being possible in this forum.

Any sugggestions!?

Thanks, Laurie

Hi

Apologies for not responding before.

Mike - am using Advanced Level anyway.

Richard - that has fixed it, brilliant, thanks so much. What a strange setting. It does beg the question, why would you ever want to take property information like this based on surrounding tasks, effectively making this a random choice. I mean, what determines whether information is taken from nearby tasks or not. And why would this be set as a default (as it is with the Blank template)? Very dangerous and confusing.

Anyway, thanks again for helping!

Hi Laurie

What user level are you on?

Check that you are not still on Beginner.

Go to Help > User Level > tick Advanced.

This opens up all the functions in the software.

If that is not it then you have flawed software - so go to the Asta support team and they will fix it.

Best regards
