I believe once she reativates they will send her one. I thought I heard that, but don't quote me on that!! Sorry I couldn't be more help!
 
I am so mixed. I think I can handle PP3 right now and have a show to send it tonight/tomorrow morning.

Me too...I've noticed a few things that are missing that I liked on PP, but I think I can deal with that since the new one is much more updated and with this century! I think I may just start using it now, knowing that they will greatly improve it in the coming months. I really like it so far!!! It's not perfect, but nothing new ever is perfect.
 
Thanks Rebecca. I have all day to ponder now!
 
Me too....I have a show scheduled to close tomorrow so I'll have to make a final decision by then. I also need to send in a supply order. Choices!
 
I entered the show orders in both programs and had no problems. When she drops the money off later today I'll do the same in both so I am up to date. Now, to figure which one to use to submit.

You got that right, Choices!

IMHO you are asking for trouble by entering the data in both - and creating double work for yourself. Will you be 100% sure which as the most current information and that you didn't forget to put it in one of the programs?

I plan to continue using PP and also download the P3 to check it out. Once I see what is missing on P3 I will decide if I can live without whatever is missing and then decide but all information will be entered in PP.

As PC suggests I will then remove P3 from my computer and reinstall it so that it can gather all the newest data.
 
I was very impressed by the P3 program! I got the e-mail about not switching over yet, but I can't remember why the testers didn't like it...
 
I wanted to see how easy it would be to enter a show and it was! The show was listed already when I installed/imported so I figured why not add the extra orders and see what I thought of it all. I decided to do that after I added them to Pampered Partner. So both are up to date at the moment. I did compare them as I always do a preliminary report before I submit anyway to make sure I didn't miss anything. I found it very easy to do and took my time. I had taken the guide tour so I had a good feel of what to do. I backed up both and will decide before the day is over which one to submit from. So far I can't see why I couldn't send from P3!
