SYMPTOMS
If you change the base calendar for the project to any calendar other than the Standard calendar, the Working Days (Base Calendar) report displays only information in the Standard base calendar.



RESOLUTION
The Working Days report displays information from the first base calendar associated with a project; by default, this is the calendar named Standard. To "move" another base calendar to be the "first" project calendar, the following steps are given to illustrate this "move" process:
 * 1) Create a new project.
 * 2) Click Change Working Time from the Tools menu.
 * 3) Click he New button. Click the Create New Base Calendar button, enter an appropriate name and click OK.
 * 4) Make appropriate calendar changes to your new base calendar and click OK.
 * 5) Click Change Working Time from the Tools menu.
 * 6) Select the Standard calendar from the For drop down list. Click the New button. Click OK.

This makes a copy of the Standard Calendar.
 * 1) Click More Views from the View menu. Click the Organizer button.
 * 2) Click the Calendar tab.
 * 3) Click the Standard calendar. Click Delete. Click the Copy of Standard calendar. Click Rename. Enter Standard as the name. Click Close.

The above process creates a new base calendar, makes a backup copy of the Standard calendar, and deletes the original Standard calendar to allow the new base calendar to become the "first" base calendar in the project. The backup copy of Standard is then renamed to Standard.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.



MORE INFORMATION
In Microsoft Project, working days display the following information:
 * The days of the week
 * Whether the day is working or non working
 * Working hours
 * Exceptions to the standard base calendar
