jlb,
In my opinion trying to use multiple calendars, (other than resource
calendar differences), in a single, (or consolidated master), Project
file is asking for trouble. At best, it will be a challenge to keep
things straight. At worst, the file will be a confusing schedule mess.
However, although I've never tried it, you should be able to assign
calendars to individual tasks and that will probably get you what you
want. For each task, use the Task Information icon or go to Project/Task
Information and select the "advanced" tab. Set the task's calendar to
whatever you wish. You only need to do this for the subproject tasks.
Tasks that actually belong to the master will by default have the
master's calendar.
Hope this helps.
