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.

A couple of years ago I made a compressed beckup of my plans. Probably in an older version of P3.
Several *.P3C files wre created but now I can’t restore them. Does anyone know how to restore these files?

P3C files are the backups P3 used to make before they bought SureTrak and incorporated their PRX format. You will need a DOS version of P3 to restore these. I looked on the web and found a company named "Essential Data Recovery" at http://www.essentialrecovery.com/filelist.html who claim that they can perform this feat. Good luck!

I left P3 Windows a couple of years ago to work with P3E and MSP. I know that the issue has been solved but I have no recollection what the solution was. I’m sorry I can’t help you any further.

There are 2 possibilities:
- The project may in previous Btrieve version
- One of the file in that compressed pack is missing or corrupted

I don’t get any error messages. When I start the resore option, I can’t find the compressed plans. From checking the windows explorer I know that they are there!
