Dale,
Is your 24/7 operation perhaps a little heavy on management (i.e. 16
tasks for management and 2 for other workers) :-)

There are various ways to set up what you want depending on whether you
want the default calendar for the whole file to be 24/7 or 8/5. If you
want to treat the whole project as a 24/7/365 operation, go to
Tools/Change Working Time and set the calendar for "24 hours". Then go
to the Resource Sheet view and select resources that work 24/7 and make
sure their Base Calendar is "24 Hours". If not, select the 24 hour
calendar from the selection list that becomes visible when the Base
Calendar cell is activated. Next select all the management resources and
make sure their Base Calendar is set to "Standard".

For more information you might want to go to the MVP webpage at:
http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm
and look at FAQ 5 - Default Working Hours

In addition, I suggest you go to Tools/Options/Calendar tab and hit the
Help button for more information.

Hope this helps.
John
