Is anyone else having a problem getting the PP3 to run. I got it to install and then after I enter my id# and password I verify who I am and then it goes to update. After a few minutes I get an error telling me that the application update could not update successfully. I appear to have stumped the tech support guys. I was on the phone with them for 2 hours this morning and they couldn't figure it out.

That's the problem I'm having. I'm going to call tech support this morning.
Bleah.
 
I don't have time to go through all the post here to find out if this was already posted so if so sorry but this is an e-mail that I got from my director yesterday evening

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 [email protected]

P3 is on the new disk. Put the disk in and click on your Start menu. Choose Run and then browse. Click on you cd ROM and open. Choose Set Up Pampered Partner Plus. It will lead you through the simple installation and import all of your information. I did this with no problem. All of my info is still in my current PP as well. I can use both systems.

I finally got it to work after a second call to tech support. They had to send me a link with a PP3 update and we added the program to my computer that way and now it works fine. The gentleman I talked with said that they were having alot of problems like this.

Rebecca, it did say it was updating before it sent the show. I am very happy with how it worked for me last night submitting the show.

Thanks Rebecca and Jill--I was proud of myself too!
 
I don't use cluster management as I am not a director so I am going to stick with PP3. Everything transferred/imported fine.

It was lots of fun for me too. So much that I learned it and submitted a show I was closing out last night.
 
Are today's tasks supposed to pop up when I open P3? I always thought they would pop up, but they don't. Did I do something wrong??

They should have shown up. I don't have anything in my task folder right now but will have to start using it again soon.

I don't know what to tell you Gillian.
 
I see them in my task section, but isn't there supposed to be a pop up when I log in that says "Today's tasks" or something similar?
 
I don't think I read anything about that Gillian. I know it was on regular Pampered Partner though. I think because it appears on screen when you are on they think you will see it automatically.
 
Well, some of us need it to pop up in front of my face and not go away until I do it!! LMAO! Thanks for the info Harriet!
 
E-mail me your task list and I'll bug you every day!!!!!!!LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
That could work too Harriet!
 
Automatic UpdatesI just read in this week's Weekly Bites that PP3 automatically updates when you open the program.

I believe that it auto updates to PP Plus....not 3....I think they are different versions, correct?
 
JK--they are one of the same.
 
I just printed my sales receipts and the print is sooooooo small! I do like that it gives dollars and cents though.

maybe there are some settings to change the print with this new spiffy program...I will play tonight! ...that is as long as he/she leaves it for me this time!!
 
If you find out anything JK let me know! We'll have to give our hosts magnifying glasses at this rate!!!!
 
oh geez, it is THAT small?
 
I'm counting down the hours until I can make my host calls to close the two shows I have out still. I've never wanted to make host calls so much in my life! LOL!!!! Am I ridiculous or what?!??
 
No, Rebecca..we just like playing with our new toys!!!!!!!!! I really had no problems getting all of the show info in and sending.
 
I'm just a little nervous closing the show on the phone with her....it will probably take twice as long to do it!
 
Just take your time and make some notes while you do it.

I think so. My weekly bites print is a tad bigger. It reminds me of how the home page of CC looks.
 
I take it back. I think the weekly bites news is as small as what the receipts font looks like.

How much longer before you call the first host?
