Find function not working

Make sure you have highlighted a cell that is in the id column.

I ‘find’ that I am also having trouble getting the Find Function to work now that I have upgraded to P6. The P5 Find Function worked okay but generated errors under different circumstances. In P6, sometimes Find activates with a Ctrl-F and sometimes it does not. Perhaps this is the result of the P5 ’fixes?’

Hi Oliver,


I got it. Thanks a lot.

I hate the P5 find function. Can’t paste into the Find box with CTRL-V, have to re-click on a cell in the name column every time you click anywhere else in order to get it to work. For a keyboard user like myself it is truly maddening.

Separately, the little search box in the Assign Predecessors dialog seems to only search by the first characters rather than by all characters, similarly maddening.

If I didn’t love Primavera so much I would throw it out based just on that.

I complained to Primavera tech support about the Ctrl-C (copy) and then Cntl-V (paste) while searching Ctrl-F. She told me it was an "enhancemement request" item. Small comfort was that she said pick column (field) then Cntrl-F, then RIGHT CLICK on the box and select paste from the small menu that then pops up. It works, but not intuitively!

Thanks Marsha!
