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.

Ronald,

Thanks for your reply.
I am wondering if the database type that P3e uses, is compatable with a MySQL database, running of a remote server on my local network.

Thanks in advance,

Dennis

Dennis,

I believe that Paul misunderstood your question.

You do not need to have an existing MSSQL or Oracle database to run P3e. You can install P3e (or P3e/c) as a stand-alone system. In this case, the software automatically installs a free Interbase database manager on your computer to handle this task. The installation of this is quick and does not require a trained Database Manager in order to install or run. Good luck!

Ron Winter.

Connecting to a database in P3e is similar to opening a project in MPS, SureTrak etc, except in P3e all the projects are saved in one database and each project is not opened one at a time.

So the answer to your question is no, it possible to run a stand alone version of P3e without connecting to a database.
