1- The Method worked fine (for P6 R8.3) as well.2- During Step A.2 if you don't want to install heavyENU\x64\SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.exe (1.3 GB File) you may instead choseENU\x64\SQLEXPR_x64_ENU.exe (132 MB) Set up.3- If you fail to connect to database after Step C.9, Open SQL Server ConfigurationManager-----Click SQL Server Services-----Right Click SQL(SQL Express) and clickrestart--------Now repeat Step C.9. Hope it helps.

Just Great! I've been searching for that subject for too long.At other website, I found some articles describing the differences between oracleand SQl database and how to have each one, but they were stating that once youhave one of them you are stuck, then you show-up and break the constraint!Dear sir, thank you for that very useful project, I've followed the instructions and itworked well. Please accept my regards.Eng. Ahmed Fathi Project planning and control engineer - KSA
