we use P3.1 in a network setting. I couldnt tell you how to set it up though, we have IT bods for that.
Things to note though;
- Big schedules (0000s activities) run very slowly on network drives. We eventually arranged a dedicated server
- Without a certain amount of user discipline you can run into trouble with corrupted data
tbh during execution (while making daily updates) we ended up working separately in our subprojects on local drives (much faster and doesnt threaten the stability of opther users work) then restoring the subproject to the main project after updating.

Dear Wael,
> Run Set Up from P3 CD in server. when it asks for installation type pick server/network installation. Follow the directions when it is asked for.
> with this P3 is installed in the server but u cannot see it in programs.
> In the server share the P3WIN folder made while installation
> Make a new folder for the Primavera files
> In workstations, map the P3WIN (Say "X") & the new folder on server
> from workstation, run the setup file X\P3WIN\PROGS\setup
> While installing, setup asks for 4 folder names.
Make 1st one = X:\P3WIN
Make 2nd one = X:\P3WORK
Make 3rd one = C:\....."defalt"
Make 4th one = C:\....."defalt"
That is it this will setup the workstation to communicate with the server..
Hope this will work for u.
