I'm trying to enter a show through PP3, but when I enter the # for one of the stones on the guest special, it comes up as $0.00. It should be $15.20 (med. round stone). With the old PP, we could update anytime we wanted and it would automatically download the monthly host and guest specials. Apparently PP# doesn't do that. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

You can download it and play around in it...and import your data... just don't submit a show from it! (Once you submit a show from it, there is no going back...you will lose that show's data if you go back to 16.0 to enter more shows)
 
My director who is an ED, emailed us and told up that she had been "testing" P3 for the last few months and found way to many glitches with it. She recommended that we didn't even mess with it until after February's double points month...that way we wouldn't be stressed and HO would have time to work some of the glitches out.

I found where to download updates (go to "Help" and click on "check for updates") but it still didn't attach a price to the guest special. I think I'm going to email HO about it and see what they say. For now I'll just submit the show from the old PP and just keep the PP3 updated too. It's double the work, but I really like PP3 otherwise.
