Hello PM5 honorable users,
one customer of mine is experiencing problems when importing a P3 schedule into PM5:
an error message says: "cannot locate USERFIL.P3 file", and the import process stops.
as I am much more in P3 than PM5, I cannot give him a firm answer; can somebody help?
Grateful Alexandre

    hello,

    try this first,

    1-if using v5- get Service pack 2
    2-if using v4.1 get latest SP (tehre is heaps of bugs with imports etc).


    3-ask him to export his plans again from P3.
    4-import it into the P3e.


    if no error, kool!

    if yes error, send it to your PAR and ask them to import the same file, if they dotn get an error, then re-install your P3e. or even send it to Izam or us on here.


    Kind regards,

    Vu Dang

    Hi

    If you receive a message in relate to userfil.p3 meaning your clients P3 file require fix before the importing.

    So what you should suggest is to rebuilt the P3 file by using either batch or P3fix to fix the P3 file first

    Once its fixed then you can import

    Good Luck
