I am trying to set up a calendar that runs 12 hr shifts, 24hr/7 days.
How do I do that.
Thanks in advance.

Unless your resources work 24 hours per day, it sounds as if you need two calendars - one for each shift.

What version of Project, please? The directions vary depending upon version.

I am using 2003, but if a later version does it better, i can get that.
I want to use this for Plant "shutdowns". We work 12hr shifts, 24/7 for the duration of the shutdown. Our unit of measure is these "shifts".

I have used Project before, but not in as a sophisticated manner as I would like to.
Thanks in advance.

Are you using resources in your project? The big picture I suggest is this:

Create two calendars (Tools, Change Working Time) for each 12 hour shift.
In Tools > Options, Schedule set hours per day to 12 if you want to use the shift as a measure, hours per week to 84.
Assign the shift calendars to the resources (set their base calendar in the Resource sheet).
As you assign resources to the tasks, the task will shift to accommodate the shift for that resource.
