P6: Default layout at start of Primavera

Any news?

Please, this problem drives me crazy!

Michelle,

are you working with version 7 or version 8?

with version 7, the task windows always displays the last layout in use

I use P6 release 6.2.1 SP2.

Is there no editor in P6 to manage this user preference? I already tried to check the admin and user preference editors, but I don't find anything.

I don't know what else I can do about...

Thanks.

Restart your Database.

Hi Raymund, thanks for your reply.

I would like restart my database but I don't know how I can do it. I search something by google but I find no solution... please, could you showm me how do it? I have a localhost pubuser.

Thanks in advance.

Michelle,

If you are using SQL server.... access your services and search for SQL Primavera then on the left pane you will find the options ... Stop... Pause... Restart

Thanks once again Raymund but it doesn't work. After restarting of database, I also reboot winxp, but it is the same.

I have no idea what it is! Are you sure there is no user preference to set that?

Anyway thanks for you help

Michelle,

I encounter the same problem on my PC as client and I am a poweruser of it, I instructed the IT dept to restart the DB in the server and since that restarting, it works well.

Ok, the problem is my DB is installed by localhost but not in a server. It should work in the same way, but any attempt is apparently useless... I think I have to reinstall P6! :(

That's the last move.

Before doing so, backup all your works.

Good Luck.

Michele, this might be coming late....we are in October 2013! I was having the same problem and as you said, it drove me crazy too. I use a baseline whose layout takes priority over the current project. In other words, my current project was always opening using the baseline project layout. I simply restored the baseline project and saved it in my current layout. Closed it and put it back as a new baseline. I then opened the current project and voila, I now have control over my layout. I guess the baseline layout best be saved for all users (?).....
