the network users havent phoned me in a while, so I guess the problem is solved now (even if it crashes once or twice a day, I call this a success).
thank you all for the answers.
Oooh, oooh, I just got that same error message when trying to delete a single activity, just after reading this thread - spooky.
No other problems though, I simply closed down P3 and opened it up again and all was well.

Yes, every try is good thing so try till success
okay thanks, Ill try this too !
every try is a good thing...
An alternative, install Pervasive SQL. Primavera recommend use Pervasive if more than 10 users working on same project.
My experience is even less than 10 user, project is easy to crash without Pervasive.
it seems to work quite well, but the users told me that every operation slowed down a bit.
Ill see later if it needs more investigation.
thank you for the help !
hi
thank you for the tips!
Ive applied them on friday afternoon, and I now have to wait for the users to tell me if this worked.
I encountered an error message while repairing the project under PFXW, but thats because I previously deleted the XXXXAC2.P3 file.
and just one or two things :
when you told me "use exclusive", did this mean I had to open the project at this time ? because the exclusive option didnt appear to me except on opening...
and I dont know what "run batch on the project" means... : ) PRMBATCH.EXE is not involved, right ?
anyway, thanks again, and Ill let you know.
Check the p3.ini file (Start, Run type p3.ini and enter) and make sure your USERLOC folders are NOT shared. Should be local on c drive not on network.
Also run w32mkset.exe and check that File Settings, Remote File sharing is set to Multi-engine and NOT single engine.
Do this on every workstation using P3.
Could also try the Primavera Knowledgebase solution below:-
