Hi All



Lets get back to the original question.



PowerProject users will say theirs is the best system and primavera users will always disagree.



Having used both I will always opt for powerproject - particularly in the field of delay analysis where you have to tell a complex story with simple pictures - simple enough for a judge to understand.



Other benefits in PowerProject which are not in P3 are:



1. Infinite UNDO - REDO feature.

2. Copy Paste into the spreadsheet columns

3. Flexible calendars and work patterns - down to seconds if needed.

4. Border files with embedded activity codes

5. Multiple link colours and curved vertical links.

6. Stunning graphics



etc etc.



A delay analysis in p3 takes 3 times longer than in PowerProject and is about 25% effective.



Fortunately PowerProject has a conversion syatem that takes P3 and produces PowerProject v9 or 10.



It will turn it back again but with startling results as it tries to convert calendars and resources to the much cruder P3 format.



Best regards
