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.

Other Users are currently accessing layouts?

I am currently using P3.1 SP2 on a stand alone machine. I created a new project this morning rather a copy of an old project - this is the usual method.

I have gone to shutdown and it asks to save layout which I say "yes" and then it says "Other users are currently accessing layout..please wait". I wait!!!! and nothing!!!

There are no other users and I check by going to View & Current Users. Only me with the one project as write Read. Any help out there please.

Thanks Ronald but in the end I closed the project down without saving Layout changes then re-opened but this time ticking the switch for exclusivity upon opening. I hadnt lost any data but just the layout changes which I then re-modified and finally I was happy. Ta

This is a classic symptom of a corrupt schedule file. Run C:\P3WIN\P3PROGS\PFXW.EXE, select the schedule, check all three options at the bottom left and then Run. Good luck!
