(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?
(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.
If I have an activity, and the calendar for that activity is on a 7 day work week calendar but there is a resource assigned to that activity that has a resource calendar that is 5 day work week, will that limit my activity to 5 days a week?
So if activity "A" used an excavator who's resource calendar is 5 days a week, does P3 assume you can only work on activty A 5 days a week?
Thanks in advance.

For years I have not used P3 but believe that if similar to SureTrak, another discontinued software, then it will depend on the Activity Type - you can define meeting activity meaning the activity will be scheduled when all resources are available at the same time or non-meeting activity that will be scheduled whenever some resources are available even when not available at the same time.
In P3 nor SureTrak you can model true shift-work, two crews with different meeting resources, each crew working independently under separate shifts or independently within a single shift. In software that can model separate crews within a single activity you can define each individual resource as a separate crew and this will provide the equivalent to a non-meeting activity, covering all the bases. Note that separate crew can have the same calendar, working on a same shift but on different days depending on the availability of each crew resources. This is a very intuitive implementation within Spider Project. Do not expect old discontinued software to be capable of doing what more modern software can do.
