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.

Dear,

Can anybody guide me how to import PRX files to P6.1 without P3/3.1 installed on desktop.

I receive files from contractors in PRX format and i have P 6.1 only on my desktop.

Can anybody help me.

Thanks

Hi Abdul,

Try to change your format from .PRX to .EXE and double click. Select extract.

After that you can now import this to P6.

HTH.
