Website Upgrade Incoming - we're working on a new look (and speed!) standby while we deliver the project

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.

P3 will not produce any tabular reports, nothing happens when i run a report. Aslo when I shedule a project error message "Unable to create Temporary File - possibly out of disk space" appears.
Anybody come across this problem before, and what was done to correct it.
Any help much appreciated

I suspect that you have a computer with the Vista operating system and you installed P3 in the C:\Program Files\ directory. P3 installs their working directory in a \P3OUT subdirectory. Vista will not let anyone other than the Administrator write to anything installed under C:\Program Files\. Thus, P3 is unable to create temporary files because the operating system will not let it.

The solution is to uninstall and re-install where P3 was designed to be installed, in C:\P3WIN\. Next time you have a problem and need help, you should tell us more than just what the error message said. It makes things easier. Good luck!

Hello Ken,

Possibly you have ran out of space in your drive where the P3out file is located, that is why this message is coming, free some of your disk space and try again.
