Do your resources show up as overloaded by the amount of the overtime?

You should be able to tell if the hours are still loaded at 8 hrs/day;if they are, then the resource utilization is not set up correctly.

Generally, Project will take the oldest constraint as the freest, i.e., if you set the starting date, followed by the hours, followed by the resource utilization, the end date will change accordingly.

Note that Project still has a bug in that if you edit the resource allocation, it won't necessarily come up with the correct duration. You'll need to enter the correct resources and utilization from scratch to get the correct durations. TTFN
