Hi all,
probably more aimed at P6 administrators...
I've been using P6 for monthly reporting for a long time now. Simple process of opening all relevant plans, then runnning a saved reort to output remaining early units by Activity ID. This month, all has gone wrong, but nobody has altered the reports at all. No matter what I do, P6 assumes I had dozens of other plans open (even if I only have one open at the time), and also won't output activity IDs.
Usual format is:
12345 C0101M.001 Procurement Material expenditure only Subtotal INFL.Bal Balance of Inflation - Escalation Contingency Subtotal C0101M.003 Procurement For Fixtures and Fittings (needs Parts list from Design) Material expenditure only Subtotal C0101M.005 Procurement For Manufacture Material expenditure only Subtotal
But now it's outputting as:
12345 (12345) (Project Title) Material expenditure only Contingency Subtotal
Any ideas befor eI ask our IT guys to remove and reinstall? Other users can run reports absolutely fine!
Thanks
glad you figured it out thanks for sharing the solution
Problem resolved!
It was related to temp files within my Windows profile. Deleted PM.ini, reconnected to database and all sorted.
Thanks for replies!
David - Not sure how I could do that without affecting other users? Do I have a user specific set of summaries that can be deleted?
Zoltan - thanks for the tip! It's an SQL database, so makes sense. What's the command that I would need to run to close?
Edit: apologies, duplicate reply!
are you running Microsoft SQL or the oracel database
you might have to run a SQL command to close all projects
Gasp.
Have you tied deleting all summary data and re-running?
