(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.
Hello,
I am having an issue converting P3 to Xer. The conversion tool provided "P330XERConverter" when ran has the "P3" option greyed out. THe only thing left to choose is SDEF. Any reason this would be happening? The file is located on the same machine as P3.

No I never did resolve it. I think my problem was working on it through a server. When the same task was performed on a computer with P6 on the local drive it worked without any issues. If you are working through a server that might be the problem.
Did you ever resolve this? I have the same problem.
