Tracy: I bought 4.1a about 3 weeks ago, and am having a few problems with bugs in the program, which I assume 4.1b will have fixed. How do I go about getting my upgrade to 4.1b? Thanks for your help Tracy. Bernie.
#Compared to ACT?
Message #47043
I'm looking at switching from ACT to DTS. I have found that ACT is a great contact manager but inadequate for much else. I would appreciate any feedback from people who have used both. I have tried a few other programs ECCO, Organizer and Packrat but seem to lose more…
#minor problems
Message #47036
I am trying to print out my address book onto aan 5.5" x 8.5" page. So far everything has worked out except I can get only six lines per record to print out. My template has 14 lines in it I've marked the don't print blank. Having this limitation doesn't…
#WFW6 Macro
Message #47030
Dave, sysop just sent me your message before it scrolled off…..my CTX monitor went bad and was without a monitor for a few days (borrowed one from a friend for now). Anyway, 1) I will look for the WFW6 macro soon. 2) You asked me what I am trying to…
#Order Duplication
Message #47028
I called your order department about a duplicate order that was sent to me, I have not heard fom UPS to pick it up and I have been billed twice on my credit card. I will be calling the credit card monday to dispute the billing but how do I…
Marisa, The HP100LX has been discontinued and replaced by the HP200LX. Many current users have upgraded to the new 200lx. It seems you should contact HP to find out the differences if any between the technical aspects of data transfer. Why support a machine that is discontinued versus the current…
#Version 4.1
Message #47014
Tracy, I have the same question only as it regards the HP200LX. Intellink has made it very easy to move data back and forth between ECCO and my HP. Will I be able to do the same with your product. Marc
Thank you for the information. I was told it would be out this month. Are you sure about the date?
Jim As Bill Gates knows, DTS has been using WINDOWS\DESKTOP since 1989. Maybe Bill should move his directory… Seriously, if you'd like to send me a copy of Chicago, I'd be happy to look into it. David
John Sorry I can't help with the Calculator question. The only Calculator specific configuration file I can see is CALC.OPT, which appears only to point to where the .TAP files are stored. I don't know, but I suspect, that Calculator printing is handled internally to the DTS print engine, probably…
Dear Tracy I was so pleased by the response to the new WordPerfect 6.x macro that I went ahead and did the WinWord 6.x version (additional details in "WinWord Template/Macro!") It is functionally identical to the WordPerfect version and looks exactly the same: it differs only in that it is…
#WinWord Template/Macro!
Message #47001
A new DTS/WinWord integration template/macro will be uploaded to the Okna Corp. library on September 26 and will be available as soon as it clears CompuServe's 'customs'. DTSWWDDE.DOT, Version 2.1, is a WinWord 6.0 or later template/macro based on the wildly popular version available for WordPerfect. This is the first…
#DTS Upgrades
Message #46981
I would like to know when DTS will be comming out with an upgrade to 4.0? I am interested in a spell checker. Also are there any plans to have a todo list that will remove compleated tasks, but keep the list with the previous day as it was? Last…
#Installation in Chicago
Message #46979
I have just installed my beta copy of Chicago (Windows 4.0). After the installation, my Chicago desktop was littered with icons. I discovered that your default installation directory for Desktop Set is the same as where Chicago stores its desktop objects: C:\WINDOWS\DESKTOP. The extra icons were from Desktop Set's program…

#Exporting DB FIles
Message #46976
I am getting Fatal Errors when trying to Export DB IV files forn Desk Top Set. I have the latest version and have it running on two machines and get the same error on both machines. I recently loaded up Win Fax Pro 4.0 and was really happy to see…
Martine, > I quote your 9/12/94 reply to Bill Foltz:
Martine, Thanks for your reply.
#WinFax Link Suggestion
Message #46943
Tracy – I have a suggestion I would like you to add to your list. I would like the ability to link faxes I receive in WinFax into the record of the sender in Desktop Set. So when I look up someone in DTS I can see a list of…
Dear Nolan: OK – we understand what your question about the flag is now. The US Flag is in Month View – not Day View. To remove the US Flag from a day in the Month View, highlight the day with the US Flag and then click the empty box…
It's not a red flag, but the U.S. flag that is stuck. When I have the calendar displayed the edit option is not available so I can't get to a key event box from there. I did finally get my other printing problems resolved. I was unable to set the…
#Opening Title Name
Message #46744
Thank you for your instructions relating to my Title problem. Another question I have concerns the lack of documentation for which models of Wizard Organizers are supported. I have a OZ7000, OZ8000, and a new OZ9500. All of my attempts at downloading to the OZ7000 have been fruitless, and even…
If you have a red flag next to one of your events it means that it is marked as a "key event". We are not aware of any problems with this feature and are not able to duplicate it. Please check to see that your mouse is working properly. As…
Tom Thanks for the info…I will pass it on. I think he was having a cable problem. Marisa 🙂
Marisa, I have the YO610. I download to the Address 1, 2, and 3 using specific categories from two phone books – home and work. I used the last three available categories ( I don't remember the numbers) and named them wiz1, 2, and 3. I did it that way…
#Tape Calculator
Message #46451
John, The update you mentioned in your note has been postponed until October. When it is released it will be announced on and posted to the forum. 5.0 is so far in the future that we haven't even started thinking about it yet. 4.2 will be the next release after…
#HP 100
Message #46450
Janet, Version 4.2, which is due out in the first quarter of next year, will have support for the HP100. Sincerely, Martine Carlson Technical Support
John, Try deleting the file \desktop\calc.opt. Other than this, I really can't say. We aren't supporting the calculator anymore and don't have it installed on our computers. Sincerely, Martine Carlson Okna Technical Support
No, the flag doesn't disapper when you click on it again. It does appear to disappear if you click again and exit from the program completely; however, not while the program's still running. Also, how do you print a 'consolidation list'; there's no reference to 'consolidated' in the index or…
Nolan, If you click on the flag again it will disappear. Another way is to select the Event, choose "Edit/Options" from the menu, and take the check off "Key Event." As for Caller ID, I've heard California just passed a law legalizing it so your phone company should be offering…
#undo Flag?
Message #46386
I accidentally set the 'flag' on a date when I was playing around. I was then unable to undo it. There is no index reference to 'flag' or 'icon' nor in online help. How do I get rid of it? (By the way for those of use here in Ca…
#Tape Calculator
Message #46379
Tracy, As a "veteran" user of DeskTop Set, I've enjoyed the tape calculator and lament its demise from the DeskTop Set suite. Though I know it is no longer included (or supported, I assume), I hope you can help me with a simple question… When I print a tape calculator…
#WordPerfect Macro!
Message #46278
Dear David: Glad you are getting a positive response. I'm sure Konstantin and our developers can handle DTS 5.0 but we appreciate the offer. Tracy
#Version 4.1
Message #46277
Dear Joe: I checked about the HP200. Konstantin wants to see the unit before he makes any firm commitment. Sincerely, Tracy McKenna Okna Tech Support
Dear Mike: The written documentation for the new features in 4.1b will probably lag the release date by a few weeks. Of course, everything will be documented in the on-line Help files. If you keep the 4.1a manual in resaleable condition, we could certainly exchange it when the new manual…
#Sharp YO610
Message #46258
Does anyone have a Sharp YO610 palmtop? If so can you tell me specifics on how the download works for you? Thanks Marisa, Okna Tech Support 🙂
If I order 4.1a now (am using 4.0a? DT jr.) will there be additional doconal documentation for 4.1b and will the free update to 4.1b include the updated ed docs? Also, I have seen a couple of prices one for DT jr. upgrade and another for the nice glossy multi-page…
Joe We only download to the HP95LX palmtop. We will be adding the HP100LX in version 4.2. I don't know if we will add HP200LX….if not I will add it to our suggestion list. Marisa, Okna Tech Support
#Should I Wait for 4.1b?
Message #46103
4.1b is just an update and will not "map" ACT! differently. It will be free for anyone purchasing DTS now. Marisa Harris, Okna Tech Support
#Version 4.1
Message #46013
Hi Marisa, Does DTS currently work with the HP 200LX palmtop? Can I indeed transfer my phone book entries to the HP? What do I need to do this in terms of software and hardware? thanks Joe Marietta – Joseph M. Marietta/VA, Written 18-Sep-1994 @ 18:28:21 Using: Windows NavCIS PRO…
Marisa A pleasure! Now, if only I could persuade you to join the WPWin camp. David
James I just ran a test on the DTS modules (one of the benefits of DTS is that it is entirely modular). Address Book took up 4% or resources and Calendar 6%. These are the two most major modules and I assume the most resource hungry. In practise, you're never…
I have the same problem, 2nd package arrived today. Better check your order management system. Dave
Barry, The group problem Jim was referencing was not being able to drag and drop a name into a group. The "bug" you are refering to is known, it happens when you select a name from the group DTS points to page A1 instead of going to that persons record.…
James DeskTop Set uses 18-24% of system resources. Sorry, there is no way around it till the new Windows release. Marisa, Okna Tech Support
Thanks for the info. Marisa
See message 43614 for a reply to your "competitors version" question. DeskTop Set uses 18-24% of system resources. I am not aware of any "add-on" that reduces resource requirements. Verison 4.0 of MS Windows will eliminate the current strict limitation of system resources. Therefore our development group has decided to…
Your welcome. Thank you for your suggestion. You have the most recent version. 4.1b is due out shortly. It will be posted on the forum as soon as its available. Marisa
Arthur I'm glad it worked out for you. I will let Tracy know. Marisa, Okna Tech Support
Pat Please contact Emily at our office 201-909-8600 between 9-5 eastern time. She will arrange to have UPS pick up the package from you and have your account credited. Sorry for the confusion. Marisa, Okna Tech Support
