Reference / Text Book

(OP)
I've never really used P3 before and I'm looking for a good book to use as a reference and tutorial.

Suggestions?

RE: Reference / Text Book

I suggest that you book yourself onto the Primavera 601 course.

Paul E. Harris has published several good books.  Take a look at his website:

RE: Reference / Text Book

I tried with the Primavera manual and found it impossible so I surfed to look for books.

I now have Paul E. Harris books for Primavera 3.0 , Suretrak 3.0 and MS Project 2002 and.. just excelent!

Available at www.eh.com.au but founf them cheaper at www.amazon.co.uk (EH is based in Melbourne, Australia)

RE: Reference / Text Book

paul E harris are absolutely excellent!
i have his book for P3 3.1, suretrack 3 and project 2002 and are a must!
they can be considered as expensive considering it´s an A4 fairly printed book but it is useful for beginners and users (it´s cheaper at amazon.co.uk than at harris´site eh.com.au)
it has useful examples at the end of each chapter which allow you to gradually gain control of MS project capabilities

regards,
javier

RE: Reference / Text Book

Can anyone tell me how to change the P3 data tables, data types, for example OrigDur?  My problem is that a calcuation that has been set up to subtract a field from OrigDur does not seem to pick up 3 numerics, only 2.  Thank you.
