I want to know if I can save P3 to a travel/zip drive & then download to my laptop. I still have Pampered Partner but have switched to P3 on my home computer. thanks!
 
Not sure if you can do that. I did have a consultant remote into her home pc and submit a few shows while she was out of town though. Maybe that could work for you!
 
Yes, you can install an instance of P3 on both PCs and make a backup file from 1 and import into the other. Just make sure you keep track and are using the most current file!

Unless you have a good home network set up and have yourself behind a good firewall, I would not recommend setting up to do that.

We remote into work, but through specific security standards. I have a pretty decent firewall at home but WILL NOT open it up to remote into my home...too many loopholes that even I can get through...

Thanks! I need to do that. I kept forgetting until I got to my shows. Then I was doing double work which defeated the purpose of the laptop.

Not able to do that. I have an older laptop & it is telling me that it doesn't recognize the high speed device? something like that anyway.

Someone please tell me how to install P3 on my laptop & save data to be able to use it on home computer also. I was using a floppy with PP. Can I still do that? Not very computer literate. Sorry!
 
Stacy... try calling tech support. They can walk you through it better than anyone.
 
OK, this is probably a dumb question............I have Pampered Partner but what is P3? I thought PP is the only way we can submit orders via internet. Am I missing something? Should I be using P3.....whatever it is?

P3 is the new program that came out. It should be the one that you have since you just started. Those of us that have been in for a while have Pampered Partner software. I am trying to switch everything to Pampered Partner Plus (P3) since everyone will eventually have that program.
