Resource 1 works from 7am to5 pm; resource 2 works 5 pm to 3am.
The calendar for resource 1 is straight forward. For resource 2 in "change working time", I entered 12:00AM to 3:00AM & 5:00PM to 12:00AM (not 5pm to 3am like you'd assume).
For a single 20-hour shift, the entry in "change working time" is 12:00AM to 3:00AM, 7:00AM to 5:00PM then 5:01PM to 12:00AM.
Not intuitive but it works.

Here's what I want to do: I want to schedule a 20 hour task that starts 7AM. I have 2 resources able to work 10 hour shifts. One will work from 7AM to 5PM and the other 5PM to 3AM.
I need the task to show a start of 7 AM and a finish the following morning at 3 AM.
I can configure the first resouce calendar but cannot configure the second. Please advise and thanks, Eric

My brain re-engaged after I posted my question and I was able to use 12PM to 8PM for the 20 hour shift duration. I looked at the night shift and decided I didn't like how it portrayed the tasks I wanted the visibility of 2-10hour shifts working back-to-back. 12PM to 8PM worked fine.
You are normal is you can't figure this out. MS Project calendars do not handle going past midnight which might be your problem. All time must exist during a specific day. For example: if you want a shift that starts at 11 PM and ends at 7PM the next day your calendar would look like:
12 AM - 7PM and 11Pm - 11:50 pm
You would apply this to any base calendar which can be used as a project, task or resource calendar.
By the way you might want to look at the values in the Night shift calendar which is part of every version of MSP.
