Richard, Ok, keep me posted. Dean Okna Tech
Craig, Are you having problems with incoming or outgoing calls? You need caller ID hardware to recognize an incoming call. Dean Okna Tech
#4.1b Month poster
Message #71765
When I print a "Month Poster" and there are too many entries for a particular day, the system prints an additional page containing the overflow for that day. However, the date on the overflow entries is always 1/1/70. Cliff Cook -Clifford C. Cook
#Calendar Woes – still
Message #71762
I reported this before and it still exists… Scenario: I have an item entered into the calendar and have an alarm set. The alarm goes off while I'm doing something else (either other application or in the Phone Book .. The message and the entry in the line on the…
I'm running DTS seamless on my desktop with Warp fullpack (the one with WinOS/2). I also ran DTS under OS/2 2.11. It runs better if you run it in a Widows full screen session, but I often use my DTS information with other applications, so I run it seamless. It…
Thanks for the reply, I'll look into it. John
Thank you, I'll look it up. John
I have my retries set at 5, but that's not the problem. The paging service I use sends a busy signal after it has answered and the page transaction has been completed. I'm wondering if the dialer will keep control of the line and send the same page repeatedly when…
#Address Book Suggestion
Message #71753
Dear Martine, I have the 4.1b upgrade. Would you please add this suggestion to your future upgrade list. Currently, the Address Book highlights the last edit name record. To me, it would make more sense to hightlight the last person's record that was retrieved or better yet the last name…
Dean, >> Try highlighting an event and going to edit/recurring and change the range to infinity, and then click ok.
OK – I have "log/both" selected but no calls are logged! I know I'm missing something simple, but what?
Dear Martine, I am running Word 6.0 for NT on a Windows 95 machine. All the software is properly installed and the template macro has been re-run > 5 times. Still no success and the "WordBasic Error=543 Unable to open specified library" error persists. Yours, Howard M. Finkelstein
Dean, >After deleting calendar.rsm, when you opened the file did you hold down ctrl+shift >and double click on the entry? Can you open other calendars, ar create new ones? Double click on the icon while I held down the control&shift keys? Yes. Can I open other calendars? No, I don't…
#Import broken
Message #71728
I just downloaded the four patch files and applied them. Import is broken, under both WinNT and WfW 3.11, when I import a small CSV file: "DTVW","P","05","C","HORIZONS MEDIA","","F","MHAMAD TAKRITI","PO BOX 13085","","DOHA QATAR","","","0000" "DTVW","P","05","R","","IVAN SOEMANTORO","F","JL TEBET DALAM IK15","","","12810 JAKARTA INDONESIA","","","0000" The error is a GPF in DLWBC31.DLL at 000A:0541 or :0551.…
#Calendar import problems
Message #71721
Hi, I have just upgraded my 4.0 to 4.1b and am still having problems with importing scheduler + files. (I export under schplus as text and no notes) When I do the import nothing seems to have been imported. I look at the text file and all the info seems…
#DTSWare for WPWin 6.1
Message #71719
– Reply to message #68045 (already scrolled) I've been looking for the 6.0a macros (my office hasn't yet upgraded). Are they still available? – Edward R. Wiest, Written 14-Mar-1995 @ 21:40:04 Using: Windows NavCIS PRO 1.5
Dean, I am using an HP Laser Jet IV. My partner is experiencing the exact same problem; therefore, I do not think that reinstalling will change anything. Help. Steven
#USR Sporster 28.8 v.34
Message #71693
Well, I've decided that I have spent far to much time trying to get the Sportster 28.8 to work. USR can't figure out why it works at all with DTS in my office. They say it shouldn't! So rather than wait until one day it simply decides to stop working…
Bad patch files
Message #71691
I just downloaded the four patch files… files 2 and 4 cause illegal instruction errors in DOS windows under WinNT and under QEMM-managed straight DOS, too. I suspect you're using a freeware self-extracting EXE-making program. Why not switch to PKZip?
Dean: Yes, it happens with all reminders. I'll try your suggestion and let you know the results. Richard
Vernon, > Yeah??? What are you going to do about Caller ID with these USR gadgets? Ken
Tim, As long as you don't have the retries set at a rediculous number, you shouldn't have a problem with the line being tied uo. I was able to get alarms to page using Notify when in start up. Dean Okna Tech
Dialer
Message #71628
Jeff, Try renaming dialer.opt to dialer.old and see if this helps. We have had similar reports and are trying to pin down the problem. Dean Okna Tech
Joseph, Carefully check all of your settings again and see if you can find any differences. You may consider using a back-up from work and restoring it at home to transfer the dialer settings. This will overwrite all of your data, so make sure you have a back-up of your…
Steven, Which brand/model printer are you using? Which print driver? Try creating a new envelope style from scratch and see if you can print it. If this doesn't work, you may want to try to re-install DTS.
Miriam, I'm not familiar with all of them; I would consult your WFW.311 manual for more information on that subject. Dean Okna Tech
Eric, DTS can support DDE commands as a server only. Access would be able to read from DTS, but not the other way around. I will make sure that development is aware of your suggestions for consideration in future releases. Dean Okna Tech
Herb, Try highlighting an event and going to edit/recurring and change the range to infinity, and then click ok. It should extend the events duration. Dean Okna Tech
Art, After deleting calendar.rsm, when you opened the file did you hold down ctrl+shift and double click on the entry? Can you open other calendars, ar create new ones? Dean Okna Tech
Eric, I'm sorry I underestimated. The disks will be in production as soon as all known bugs are fixed. Procedures for Updating to DeskTop Set version 4.1b Who is eligible? Anyone who owns version 4.0 or 4.1a is eligible for a free update. Version 3.0 users may upgrade to version…
Arnold, We are still working on the import utility in 4.1b. Look for additional patches on-line in the next several weeks. Dean Okna Tech
James, We have re-uploaded the file; it should be re-posted in the next day or so. Dean Okna Tech
Dean, ~Thanks~
Dean, I tried that but still no luck. Bill.
Richard, Is this happeing with all reminders or just particular ones? It sounds like you have the same book selected as white and yellow pages. Switch to yellow pages. Open another book, or create a new one there. Then switch to white pages. See if the problem persists. Dean Okna…
Bill, Have you tried to change the dialing formats for the individual numbers to long distance. This is done in address book; dialer/options. Dean Okna Tech
Craig, In dialer, go to file/setup/dialer there is a default logging pull-down menu there. Dean Okna Tech
David, Did scandisk find any problems; did you create an undo file? Try using the undo file or re-installing DTS. Dean Okna Tech
Sandy, The tilde appears to the left of 1 key on most keyboards(~). Use the ascii code 126 (hold down the alt key and enter the code) if you don't have the character on your keyboard. Dean Okna Tech
Jeff, The PC Speaker driver is most likely causing this problem. Try removing it from the control panel/drivers section. Dean Okna Tech
Kenneth, No release date has been set. We hope to have it completed and available in the next several weeks. Dean Okna Tech
#Import AddPhone Files
Message #71597
When is patch for resolving import problem in Desktop 4.1b scheduled for release? I have not been able to import files from Daytimer AddPhone 3.0 in comma delimited, tab delimited or fixed length formats. Please advise.
HP palmtops
Message #71586
I am considering purchasing an HP 200LX – can I down load adress book information from DeskTop to the HP 200LX? Bill
Dean, When I open the dialer and click on the speed dial icon, nothing happens. What gives?
#White Pages Turn Yellow
Message #71571
When I double click a reminder to go to the related book entry, my phonebook (already open and iconized as white pages) turns into yellow pages. All of the listings from my white pages are there, but I have to go to the menu and select white pages to get…
#Dialer problem
Message #71562
I am having problems in release 4.1(b) with dialing long distance numbers within my own area code. I have the "Dial 1" box marked and I have the call type set to long distance, but if I have my area code in the area code field, the dialer will not…
It came with ver 4.0c and earlier. Its in my \windows\Desktop subdirectory. In any case, since its no longer part of DTS, does that mean its no longer supported? Will OKNA tech support respond to my message?
#Tildes
Message #71553
This may be a very simple question from a novice user, but in formatting for printing, the user's manual requires that a tilde be placed before actual text to be inserted onto a file card or label. How does one find the tilde to insert–it does not appear on my…
#Pager Alarms
Message #71549
I've finally gotten the pager setup for alarms running, but the dialer reports "busy" at the end of the paging call. I think this is how the paging system indicates that the call is finished. Will this tie up my phone line? Also, if I don't have Calendar loaded, but…
