- Tip: the Replace command will import tag codes much faster than the Import command. Use the Import command only when appending a relatively small number of tag codes (less than 25k) to a tag action.
- Tip: the Delete All and Replace commands will generate a lot of empty space in the P3 database. We recommend running the Compact and Repair utility after running any of these commands to optimize the database.

P3 Help
4
The P3 installation program does not include the validation code
libraries. These
libraries are updated as necessary. P3 will prompt the user to download or import
the current codes into the application the first time it is started.
Customizing the P3 Installation
By default, when the P3 application starts, it looks in the installation directory for the
P3.mdb and Secured.mdw files. If these files are not found, it will prompt you to find
them.
You can customize the P3 application to open a P3 database file in an alternate
location. Start by creating an application shortcut (refer to 'Windows Help' for
instructions) to the P3.exe file. Once created, open the properties of the shortcut
(right mouse click) and append the alternate file path of the database to the Target
executable path as shown below. The next time the application starts it will open the
alternate database.
Removing a P3 Installation
Once installed, you can remove P3 by following these steps:
1. Close all programs.
2. Click the Windows Start button, point to Settings, and then click Control
Panel.
3. Double-click the Add/Remove Programs icon .
4. Click P3 in the Install/Uninstall tab, and then click Add/Remove.
5. Follow the instructions on the screen.
