SetUp
ProjectPlanner 3.x comes with new functions to easily create and drop ProjectManager Databases on the SQL-Server, see menu SQL-Server.
To create a new database, you need enough user-rights on the server. So login with an account, that has these rights and has access to the 'master' table.
Beside this, you could also manage your databases with the SQL-Server Management Studios. Please ask your system administrator for some support.
In the installation folder of the ProjectPlanner 2014 application, you will find a subfolder \sql.
See the file readme.txt for further information.
