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 this is my first post here. Some time back i encountered a block in Primavera 3.1, i was working on inserting MEP activities into the exsiting pgm of the main contractor......while a ’What -If’ analysis i was trying a series of permutations and combinations but found that I was unable to alter the civil activities (done by the main contractor) but I was able to alter the MEP activities (done by me) in the program. I was initially working from a Pen drive so copied it on to the HDD but the problem persisted also tried changing access rights of the folder bu to no avail......can anyone here help me out?

Regards,

Vijay

When you say that you were unable to ’alter the civil activities’, I now assume that you mean to alter the activity durations and not some other activity feature. They may be resource-controlled durations defined by daily use and limit. Is this the case?

I am sorry about the insufficeint information part.
The program i am working on is single no sub projects involved. I just set about slotting the MEP activties in between the already exinting civil ones. Hope this info helps you.


Thanks for ur wishes..... I will try the same and get back to you.

When you need help, you really should try to tell us everything about your setup. I am assuming that you are running the Master Schedule and that the Civil portion of your schedule is contained in a subproject. The problem is probably that they did not strip out the ownership protections of the schedule before exporting it to you. You are being allowed read privilege but not write privilege.

Run C:\P3Win\P3PROGS\P3NET.EXE (password=netset) and change the User Privileges to allow you access to the schedule. Good luck!
