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! Friends,

Guies i want to learn P6, all these years i am useing P3 and i am more conversent with P3.

i got trannied in P6, but it is on fast rack process nearly one and year back, and after i never used on real job.

now i am on a new job (Water supply sceam project - In Oman ) even in this contract they have not specified to use only P6, but the previous planner is making in P6.

for the time being i am thinking to convert that into P3 and work on (for updating, schedule , resourse & cost) and convert back into P3 and submit it, is this work for time being.

in near future i expect i need more help from all you.. friends,

Kindly clarify my dought about conversion .. is this possible or not?

Hi! Shahul,

I don't think that you can't handle project having more than 3000 acvitivies cannot be handled in P3 is right. i have used P3 for activites upto 6000 also.

Only thing is is it more comberssion with Activity ID (Coding) and activity codding.

i just want to know is that possible to convert P3 into P6 for such type of projects and back again to P3.

 

Cheer!

Hi Sridhar.

 

You can convert P6 to P3 and the other way around,but if your P6 Schedule has more no of Activities (For instance 3000 Activities ) then it is not possible to convert to P3 since P3 can not handle the project which has more activities
