Heather, put your CD in your CD drive and then click on My Computer. Go to the drive where your CD is and click on it. It should show you all that is on the CD. You will see Pampered Partner Plus Installation. I clicked on that and it started the installation process. Try it and let me know. I will wait for you to come back before I shut down.

Thanks alot!!! I finally got mine loaded down. Don't know what I would do without you guys.:D

I am so happy that you got it loaded! It is hard to explain sometimes how to do certain things without doing it yourself.

I don't know what most of us would do without all of the help and support we get from Chef Success--let's hope it stays around as long as we all do with PC!:)

You are the best. Thanks again for your help!

So far, the only problem I see is that a customer's ordre history is not there.

Have you seen any other problems?

I haven't noticed any yet but I only played around a few areas. Oh, now I know what you are talking about. I saw that too! You have to go back to the show if it is over 6 months old and get the history of the order. We'll figure it out later and try to post it clearer. I can't do it tonight as I am starting to get buggy eyed.
 
One of my cluster-mates took the P3 class at Leadership and she said that tech support is aware that the History Report is not working. They're working on it.
 
Ok, i'm on my C drive and I have it open, but I don't see anything about Pampered Partner Plus installation. I just see all the other files that make up Pampered Partner. I had already installed the CD and got the 16.0 upgrade, so I don't know why it won't let me do the P3.
 
Do you see anything about Pampered Partner 3 or Plus in there?
 
There should be an icon with Pampered Partner Plus setup.
 
no. nothing like that. maybe I got a bad CD.
 
Heather:

You need to go to the drive that you put your CD in. Put your CD in your computer and then go to "My Computer" and click on the drive that your CD is in and then follow my instructions in the previous post.
 
That's where I am now and I have the CD in my laptop. I still don't see it. Maybe I'll try it on my desktop and see if I have any luck there. Thanks for your help. Sorry to be such a pest.
 
Do you want to talk about it on the phone? I know it's late but if you want I can call you or do you want to start fresh trying it tomorrow?
 
I'm up with my little one anyways for at least another hour or so. If you don't mind, I would really appreciate the help!!! I'm so excited about this new upgrade, so it is really frustrating me that I can't figure it out easily like I do most computer things.

Does anyone know if there is a users manual for P3? I found one on the CD for PP but not P3. If anyone has found one please let me know. I can't figure out how to add expenses that aren't in the list...for example like giveaway items.
If there is, and if it was written the same way the old PP manual was written, you're better off without it anyway.
 
Harriet,

Thank you so much for taking the time to call me and helping me out with this tonight. It ended up being that I missed one little thing and that's why I couldn't figure it out. I really appreciate you helping me. Pampered Chef consultants are amazing, the way everyone is so willing to help each other. Calling me late at night from NH, (I'm in FL) and walking me through this... I don't know of any other company where the consultants are this kind, friendly and helpful. Thank you again!
 
I got this from another board that I'm on. There were beta testers on this board, so that is where I have been getting my info from. However, this info was from HO, so I thought I would post it here.I just got this from the HO, Hello Beta Testers,We've been receiving many calls on the install of P3. Attached are the instructions that will be posted on the web under Consultant's Corner. Feel free to share these with anyone. Remember…P3 will automatically install for NEW consultants. Existing consultants must manually run the install.We're also getting many questions for installing, playing with P3, and then importing from PP later. Here's the scoop for that: + There is only one chance for importing data from PP to P3 and that is during the install.
+ For consultants that wish to review P3 before permanently switching over I suggest the following:
* Continue using the existing PP for all shows & non-comm submission, contact updates, etc.
* Install P3, importing the PP data. Use P3 for playing around (open shows or non-comm, work with contacts, etc). DO NOT submit shows/non-comm with P3.
* Once they decide to switch to P3, uninstall and reinstall P3. This will remove all that test data and give them the opportunity to import their PP data. At this point, they will no longer use the old PP, except for Cluster Management.
+ I also suggest that the old PP always be current by updating from CD or download, just in case there are any Cluster Management changes. Please inspect the CD carefully. If the CD appears bent or damaged, DO NOT insert it into the CD drive. Contact the Solution Center to obtain a new CD, or e-mail Technical Support at pamperedpartner@...

Good info Kate!

The tech guys at Leadership did recommend playing around with it before committing to using it exclusively, so this is important information!

Stick with good ole Pampered Partner until you are comfortable and the HO has worked out the kinks. :)
 
Thanks, Kate. I did it a bit differently but got it to install. This would have been just as easy. I don't know why they didn't send directions with the CD in the first place.
 
Heather:

You are quite welcome. I sensed your frustration and figured it would be faster and easier to talk you through it so you could get some piece of mind.

Talk to you again soon!
 
Is anyone having a hard time getting P3 to run? I have it installed but it won't let me login. I keep getting an error on the application update that it does automatically.

Tracy
 
P3 is the web/java-based version, correct? if so, has anyone played with it on a Mac yet? How is it working in "play mode?"
 
I imported my data, set up a new show, it's working great.Unless I see a problem with it as I get my first two shows ready to close... I'm going to go ahead and make it "official" and submit my shows with it.The older program seems clunky and weird to me... I'm perfectly happy with P3.
 
I just submitted my first show with it today and it seemed almost to easy. But of course all of my data was in there after I imported so all I really had to do is finish it up which wasn't to hard. I think I will like it.:D
 
I think it will be fine as long as we just take our time and get used to it and not try to do it in a rush right away. Keep us posted on how it works for you.
 
I received an email almost right away confirming my show along with a confirmation number. So that is something new.
 
That is good news--I was wondering how that would work after you submitted a show. Overrall I think it will be great!
 
Hi:

Please go to the bottom, I found the answer and posted for others :)

I saved info to hard drive and it's gone. So I did this and it was very easy, now that I have to do it again, I forgot the steps. My new day job keeps me from calling Tech Support :(

Anyways;

My new consultant who signed with me is waiting on the internet, her computer broke and her kids are getting her a new one.

I had added her info in on P3 below mine with her name, Consultant ID and PW and I can't remember the steps to do it again. I have a show for her to put in as well.

TIA;

LIZ:blushing:

I've called PC HO and they explained how to set-up add'l consultants on PP+ or P3. Very easy, just have to reinstall and when it gets to the spot of the Directory/Path just have to add Consultant's name.
