I talked to the Tech Support guys at conference and they are working on the P3 glitch. Right now you can't export the data in P# to Custoner Connection on the PWS. Hopefully it will be part of the update mentioned for August 1st.

Woohoo! Thanks, Kathy - that's great news! I knew they were working on it, just wasn't sure when it was happening. Can't wait!
