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.

Ruel,
You must have admin rights to your PC in order to access those folders. Ask you IT to give you admin rights to your machine.

Rodel,

Thank you for the prompt reply. Unfortunately we cannot access the folders, it must something to do with its intallation process or folder rights.

Regards,

Ruel,
For standalone installation by default P6 database should be found on C:\Program Files\MSSQL\Primavera\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data folder.

For Server installation it should be residing at MSSQL\Data by default unless the IT has changes the destination files.
