Good day to All!

I just recently install p6, everything is working fine but one - i cannot start a new project, every time i click on the new project (from the file menu) or use ctrl+n nothing happens. Why is it so? i know i have followed the installation instructions step by step, is there something that i missed?

Thanks in advance for the immediate responses! and Cheers!

    If everything works fine there is only one main reason: Your access rights. Check your global a project specific security profile.
    Under File --> New: Is "New" black or grey?
    View Projects: What happens if you’ll push the right mouse button? A new window? Chance to select "New"?

    Good luck!

    Dieter,

    The "New" is Black and is clickable, only thing is nothing happens after it is click. Right click also do nothing.

    You wrote that everything works fine. Which functions?

    View Projects: Move cursor into table area --> push right button --> a small window should appear with some functions - e.g. "New" - to be selected. If not, IT should check your pc. It seems that all pop-up windows are blocked.

    If you’ll look at the bottom line of the P6 window. What is behind the word "Portfolio"?

    Your access rights?

    Regards

    Dieter,

    The right click on the table area works fine but there is no "NEW" Project from the list, the list starts with Open Project and so on.

    The word behind portfolio is our company name and my access right is admin.

    Cheers.

    Regards,
    Ruel

    Sorry, in that view, "New" is "ADD". Can you select "Add"?

    To solve your problem: File --> Open --> Select Project Portfolios push onto the three "..." --> select "All Projects" --> Ok. --> You’ll see your new projects.
    Your view was restricted by the portfolio, which is quite helpful for a big database with many projects. New projects must be included in that portfolio (by Enterprise --> Project Portfolios) to be visible or this restriction has to be switched off.

    Good luck!

    To All,

    As part of thread topic, i would just like to know if it is possible to import DATA’s (Activity codes, Project codes, Calendars, Resources, etc) from P3 to P6?

    Thanks and Cheers!

    Regards,
