    hi Sophia

    first yous should launch from project management module, but don’t panic, you will find a different interface, P6 is not the new version of P3, it is absolutely a different software.
    i think you should ask your company for a training for p6.

    As a newcomer forget about MM. Start a new project directly from PM module.

    I personally feel that you have to get used to the screen. being a P3 user for donkey years, it not easy to do the switch. however, P6 have more function and capability than expected..The rest of the function, sld’t be a problem for P3 user..

    Hi Sophia,

    On the P6 package you should find a manual called Moving from P3 to P6 (or a PDF file on the CD), it’s quiet useful for the begining...
