Tips on using this forum..

(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.

Hi,

I am planning to use PowerProject. I usually use P6 or MS Project but not PP. I wonder if someone can send me a real schedule file in PP to test it and decide if I should use it or not. I appreciate if someone can email it to me at greatfargo@yahoo.com.

Thanks

Hi Mo

If you have a P6 file that can be saved as P3 then Powerproject will convert P3 back and forward.

Otherwise send me an email at planning.services@xlninternet.co.uk and I will talk about sending you a file.

Best regards

Mike Testro.

ps to all you other PP vultures - this is for mo he OK.

Mike,

I did that and tried to open a p6 file on there but it was not a great idea. I thought if I see a real project on pp, it would be more realistic.

Thanks,
