I have lost Bars How to get back??

It sounds like your layout file is corrupt. Before putting the bars back in, I suggest that you run the program PFXW.EXE that is found in your C:\P3WIN\P3PROGS directory. Select your schedule and run all options.

To restore your bars, select Format / Bars. Click on the “Visible” selection bow for the type of bars that you would like to see.

Other ‘problems’ might be that the bars section is hidden. Look to the small black bar to the right of the horizontal scroll tab. Click and drag this little bar to the left to reveal the barchart portion.

Good luck!

Dear Ronald Winter
Thanks for ur reply..
There are two PFXW files. One with "+" on top and one with "?" mark on top. which is to be run and How to Run. Other thing i dont think i have made Q clear.
in my layout area no bars are seen. and it is not hidden. When I go to Format Bars option, normally we see all bar options like, Early bar, Late bar, Float bar... which i can make visiable. However in my case that Format bar window is completly empty. When i try to add bars in it by selecting and modifying early start and early finish it is not comming.

I hope I have made myself clear
Waiting ur reply..
Shiva

Is there NO BODY to Help me????

Please...

Shivaji,


Did u check your page setup and Time scale ? Just in case...

Cheers

Sunil

Shivaji,

I do not understand your description of file names with plus marks and question marks above them. How can a file name have a plus mark above it?

Go to Windows Start button and select "Run". Enter the following into the file name box and then press the run key;

C:\P3WIN\P3PROGS\PFXW.EXE

Once it is running, click on the Help button for more information.

Good luck!

Hi Shivaji,
Hope I got your name right, just try the followiwing, hit the window menu, and then vertical bar. then just pull the bar to the left

Mr Shiva,

Posibility bars not Shown :
1. Virus in the PC...
2. Insuficient memory space
3. Row height of the activities not enough...
4. P3 have to re install again.

good luck.

No Raja..
Non of these..
Any way i got my Bars back by doing somthing else..
- I exported Act ID, Act Dis, Duration, Resourses, Pred & Suc and all other information
- I Then I opened new Project
- Then i imported all that Data

And I got my bars Back in new Project..
However my Original Program is still without Bars..

Any way Thanks everybody who has helped me..

Shiva

Shiva,

Good that you got the bars...

But my suspect is that you lost the bar because of lot of columns oocupied on your right screen, try to put down your cursor to the lower right end, near the vertical column and you will see the cross indicator, then drag it to the left and your bars will-re-appear.

Hope this will work for you.

No Padrito...
It is not hidden there. The Time scale is seen but witout bars.
I checked Format-Bars. and there are no bars in that table. Generely we see early bar. Float bar etc .
However in this case the table is empty. I tried to add bars in to it by early start and finish but invain. Nothing appers on screen. and nobody has given solution to this..

Shiva

Dear Shiva..

I think you buying P3 not included with bar...????
ha ha ha....just joking...dont take seriously.

Ok..the solution Try to reinstall P3 again.

if the time scale is there, just go to the time now, by clicking on the button to go right. this happens and can be corrected by date settings

Dear Philip,
I have lost the bars in one more programme...
Can i email u this file. Will u or any body onthis forum can help. Pls note that the bars are not hidden on rightside nor the time scale is incorrect. Everything is seen on the screen EXCEPT BARS...

Shiva

Three options to see bars in progarmmes

a) Check time scale
b) Check Page set up dates i.e adjust start and finsih
c) Check in Modify Bar Definition , show status

shiva,
this is the problem...the early bar data could not be save in the bar box after i close and reopen again. Even i use pfxw.exe also not change the problem ,what i do is create new file ...import all your data including relation to new file
1. before import data to new file
2. after import data to new file
see in the bar box

Hi shivaji,

No problem, send it and I wil look. will send you me e-mail address, just be patient, as it is a bit busy a the moment and we are in a shutdown.

I did a lot, i think there is no solution to this problem. You can only copy paste your activities in new project. Or you should contact the primavera dealers.

Regards,

Shahab.

Shahab,

Another way. Make a copy and assign it as a target to the current working schedule that has an error. I have tried this and the bars appeared again.

Regards.

Send me the file let me see what’s happening.

joel.gilbert@amecsh.com I’ll keep you posted.

Regards

Gilbert!

Shiva jee now ur problem is solved. Do as Gilbert said.

Shahab.
