Hi Gary



The one thing that drives new PP users nuts - especialy those migtrating from P3 P6 is the "Views" menu.



This allows you to set up different forms of presentation and give it a label - for instance only summary bars - or a particular trade filter and then freeze it as a view.



This is a very useful tool when you know how to use it but if you don’t know what you are doing you could find yourself inadvertantly "flipping" between someone elses pre-determined veiws and you won’t know what is happening.



Spend your 1st 10 minutes in the help section on Views and take a bit of time practising switching so you know what is happening when you find yourself staring at a completely different screen.



Otherwise send me a PP message and I will give you my phone number so I can assist directly.



Best regards

There is an article on my web sites that you may find useful under Technical Papers titled "Asta Power Project - an introduction".



This document is designed to assist people who are using SureTrak, P3, Primavera Enterprise or Microsoft Project to learn the basics of PowerProject to create and progress an unresourced schedule.
