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.

In which folder are the projects (samples or working files) stored? For example, in P3 my understanding is that these project files were stored under the Projects folder within the P3Win directory. In P6, where are the project files stored?

Projects are stored in the database tables. You can export the projects from the P6 application and store them as files on your laptop in folder of your choice.

P6 Program work with  the Oracle DB or MS Sql DB.

So that reason, you can find the P6 files in your MS Sql folder.
