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.

Al MacLeod,

You can install P5 locally into your laptop without the need of installing Oracle.
As Matt said u can run P5 using the MSQL server (which will be installed automatically), after that u can import/export or backup the database easily by going to: Start-->All Programs-->Microsoft SQL Server--> Enterprise Manager, then select your database and click on Import/Export or Backup/Restore.
Or u can simply export the schedules from the P5 itself using file--> export.

HTH.

Regards,
Karim

Hi All,

I run P5 locally as well as through server.

The local copy runs through a MSSQL server which is set up on my hard drive. I would give you more details but unfortunately our IT department locks us out from finding useful system info!

Hope this helps though.
