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.

Good day folks,

There are some projects on my P3 3.1 software that cannot be filtered and a dialogue box appears like this "PROJ environment variable too long", hence when i open the same project/s on other computers they can be filtered with no problem at all. Pls give me your idea on this...tnx

To create the drive that Bijaya Bajracharya is discussing you need to go to Explorer and use the command Tools, Map Network Drive….. and create a drive with a short path.

It is likely that the folder where your project is located too many levels down in the folder structure. Eg.(g:/level1/level2/level3/your_project_folder). Actually it is not only levels of the structure but the length of the folder name. Solution- Create network drive name for your folder. Like the above path g:/level1/level2/level3/your_project_folder can be replaced by a shorter network drive of z:/
