Well I’ll make the suggestion, but I have no say in whether we get it or not. I’m at the bottom of the hill looking up.

You should address your requests to Primavera to have a chance they’ll be included.

Yes, your are right: there are many without maintenance - I have a P3 license from 1995 and never paid for maintenance. In such cases a new purchase would be cheaper. But in Germany, as far as I know, most of the users pay for maintenance.



Kyle,

there are so many enhancements from 4.1 to 6.1, it yould be worth to consider upgrade (if under maintenance) or new.

Dieter,



Considering the age of a P3E installation and the unlikelihood of a company to continue to pay for Primavera maintenance without already having upgraded the software for free, the odds are 99% certain that it will be cheaper for Kyle to buy a new P6 license than it would be to “upgrade” to P6.

Dieter,



Seems to me like there are quite a few things that need sorting via enhancement requests, but they key ones never get addressed.

Dieter,



If it were my choice we’d have P6 however I’m just using the tools I’ve been given. Thanks for the help guys.

Dieter,



Am i right in thinking that bar-necking only relates to the activity calendar and it is not possible to get it to show the non-work time of resource dependent tasks?

As far as I remember, suspend and resume has been available since version 5.

Also for performance and some other functions you should ask to transfer to the current version - P6.1.

I have yet to find any way to suspend and resume. I was hoping someone here knew how to do it in P3E. :( Thanks for your input though.

Hello Kyle,



I am not sure if it is working in P4.1 However, in P6 it works fine. Try this,



You don’t need to create new calendars for your activities. All you have to do is to set the "Suspend & Resume Date" or even suspend date only. After setting all the suspend date to your activities then you can go to Bars dialog box & mark the "Activity nonwork intervals" under the Remain & Actual Bars.



HTH.



Regards,



Arnold
