Hi Hencab,

lousy limitation, I agree. The workaround is to create a task linked to the mail and set a reminder to the task:
1. Store the mail in the desired folder
2. Drag the mail with the right mouse button to the task folder and select “Copy here as task with shortcut” from the popup menu
3. Set the reminder
The reminder will fire because the task sits in a “default folder”, and doubleclicking the shortcut contained in the task’s notes area opens your email. BTW: make sure to move the email first, and then to create the task with the shortcut. Otherwise, the shortcut will not find the mail.

Does she use Netscape Communicator? If yes, there, go to Edit / Settings, then select Mail and see whether the “Use Netscape Messenger for MAPI based applications” is checked. Uncheck it.

Sure you can. The trick is to first change the screen view to display only the desired entries and then print. For example, select the Monthly view, then
1. go to View / Current View / Define View
2. Click the Modify button
3. On the next dialog click the Filter button to bring up the Filter dialog
4. There you find various filter options, among others, categories (on the second tab)
5. Enter the desired categories and hit OK (several times, to close all the dialogs)

As a result you see only the filtered entries in your calendar. Now print it. If you print this view on a regular base, you should save the filtered view as a new view.

Hi,
The ‘Flag for Follow Up’ reminder does not work for emails, which have been moved from the Inbox to another folder. Could that be the reason?

Hi,
I don’t think there is.

There is an option somewhere in the View menu to switch the Daily view’s displayed intervals from half an hour to 15 minutes. But that does not change the drop down on the Appointment form.
Second, you could try to manipulate the Appointment form and change the properties of the Start time and End Time controls. (Start a new appointment, and go to Tools / Form / Design this Form on the empty form’s menu). But there you will find, that the form’s General tab (where the controls sit) is not editable.

So, no, I don’t think there is. Unless you reprogram the whole appointment form, maybe.

Hi gandalf,

Go to Start / Settings / Control Panel and doubleclick the Mouse icon. That is where you change your mouse settings. On the Pointer tab, you can choose between various pointer schemes. There is one called “Windows Standard Extra Large”, which you might want to give a try.
The pointers are obviously stored in files of the type *.ani and *.cur. You can see that, when you click the Browse button on that dialog. How you create such files, however, is beyond my knowledge.

I guess you are just fine.
This method inserts the slides as Powerpoint slide objects; doubleclicking opens them and you can actually work with the slide in Word.
As to no seeing the pictures, go to Tools/Options, then the View tab and uncheck the checkbox “Show Picture Placeholders”. Then you should be able to see the slides.
Hope this helps

As far as I understood the online help, the sorting is not stored in the recordsource but in a property of the form itself (the property OrderBy).
But you are perfectly right that I should use the OnOpen or OnLoad event (instead of the OnUnload event). Now, I sat the OrderByOn property to False in an OnLoad Statement, and this worked wonders.

Private Sub Form_Load()
OrderByOn = False
End Sub

What does not work, however, is when I try the same with the OrderBy property. As for example in

Private Sub Form_Load()

I thought about that, too, an I think it might help.
Although I would rather have nothing left in the OrderBy property itself.

The problem with both solutions is, that I seem to miss the right place for applying them.
I tried both the Form_Close and the Form-Unload event of the form which is the subform. I tried above mentioned code and I tried the following

Private Sub Form_Close()
OrderByOn = False
End Sub

But when I reopen the form, it is sorted as it was before closing. I seem to be doing something wrong, and I cannot figure out what it is.

Thanks
Doris
