Hi Diane
In P3 the function you need is "Merge": Tools --> Project Utilities --> ...
Check, if its included in Suretrack.
Good luck!

This helps ... anyway to save the formatting when coming over from P3e?
Currently we are needing to tweak the settings everytime the file gets sent back to us with changes... ie apply filters, start/end dates. etc.

Okay, here is an ‘Old Timer’s Trick.’ PRX files are really just self-running zip files. You don’t even need P3 or SureTrak to unpack them. Take the file with a PRX extension and do the following.
Simply use Windows Explorer and “run” the PRX file by double clicking on it (or right-click / Open.) A nifty little window will open titling itself, “Self Extracting Project.” Use the directory navigator to select the drive and directory you want the .P3 files to be placed in (say, “C:\P3WIN\PROJECTS” ) and click on the Extract button.
Problem solved. The 10 – 19 different .P3 files that make up a project will be placed in the directory and ready to be used by SureTrak or P3, as desired.) Good luck!
Thanks Dieter... that did the trick.
Hi Diane
prx is the back-up format. Youll have to restore the prx first (under tools --> project utilities; source and target must be in different directories!). Then you can open the project.
But be aware: Suretrak is "P3 light". There might be a restriction violated by your project.
Your colleague first exported the project to P3, then opened it in P3, and created a back-up - the prx.

Dieter
