Hi Chris,

Thanks, I got it to work how you said.
 
But the problem is that we have no fixed working
hours and all work on the same never ending task...
so it needs no selection algorithm for a task and
should not have fixed start/end times because
this varies from day to day and we do not know
in advance when.

I.e. For Tom we have:
Mon, 25.04.2005: Early
Tue, 26.04.2005: Early
Wed, 27.04.2005: Medium
Thu, 28.04.2005: Late
Fri, 29.04.2005: Late

Can I do something like this?
resource
 Tom "Tom Smith"
  { Early 2005-04-25
    Early 2005-04-26
    Medium 2005-04-27
    Late 2005-04-28
    Late 2005-04-29
   }

Best regards,
Ralph
