Jim I don't recall an earlier message on this topic from you. I have checked with the other reps here and no one has heard of your "blow away" problem. Please make a backup of your files using the DTS backup utlity and send it to me at Okna Corp.…
Fred, Jr. is a freeware demo that has limited options. I don't have specifics because we don't provide specific support for it, we recommend using the help files provided. I believe that you cannot add pages, you cannot print and there is no To Do list. Marisa, Okna Tech Support
Jim DeskTop Set uses 18-24% of system resources. Thanks for the note I will look into it. Marisa, Okna Tech Support
Tim There has been a problem related to topic pages that occurs completly at random. This will be fixed in 4.2. If a topic page is missing try and locate the page by selecting Find/Exact or Show/Topics….. if you can get to the page this way then select Page/Gather and…
Jim Thanks, I'm glad your enjoying DeskTop Set. I am not aware of any problems with dragging and dropping names into groups. I have tested it here and it seems to work O.K. If this continues please send a DeskTop Set backup to me at Okna Corp. 12 Rt. 17…
When exporting to a Quattro first select the fields you would like to export selecting Quattro as the format. Second select the range you would like to export. DeskTop Set will export automatically to a *.wkq file which can then be imported to Quattro. I'm not aware of any problems…
Guy You can only print bold text for either your entire template, header or footer. Currently there is no way to shade specific areas, I will add that to our suggestion database. We will have a printing update scheduled for release with version 4.2. Thanks for the suggestions. Marisa, Okna…
Your welcome.
#Sorting in Address Book
Message #43314
I was using the list command in the address book and noticed that it sorts directly on the displayed book entry. But I list my entries first name, last name. This causes the list to sort by first name. Is there a way to get the list to sort by…
Doug Glad to be of help. And yes, this is a very supportive forum. The most arcane, inprobable questions receive very quick and authoratitative responses. Hope you enjoy DTS Pro. Do keep browsing though the manual. I had to read it cover to cover recently, and I, a user for…
If you are rewriting the interface to the wizard how about downloading and uploading calender, todo,s , address and notes. this will allow the uploading of data entered into the wizard during a trip to keep DTS current. Other suggestions from 1 week of use are a "today" button to…
#Kudos and Group Problem
Message #43269
First let me tell you how much I enjoy your product. I have used DTS Jr. in the past and loved it. I decided to buy the Pro version a few days ago and haven't been disappointed. I was very impressed just playing with it. After actually sitting down and…
David Thanks for the version level info. It is much appreciated. The folks in the Okna section seem to be a pretty supportive bunch based on following the message traffic here. Thanks for the macro info also. However I use Q & A Write word processor ( w/o the database)…
#OKNA Phone and Appointmt
Message #43252
Again, when I added an appointment, OKNA blew away two appointments on the same page. Why is this happening? Can it be prevented? What is the name and address of your competitor which does NOT "blow away" my appointments? How can I count on your software? Jim ps everything else…

#Setting Recurring Dates
Message #43250
Could anyone tell me the easiest way to set non-regular recurring dates in OKNA DeskTop Set Pro? I teach 15-hour seminars at a local college, and would like to enter the dates of the seminar by picking them off a calendar, or something simple like that. The dates of the…
Doug 4.0c and 4.1a are one and the same product; there is no difference between them (just a guess, but I suspect the change in number had to do with a surge in sales following the recent Editor's Choice, running out of 4.0 manuals, bringing 4.1 manuals on line early,…

#Memory usge
Message #43214
I have been looking into why I am running out of memory. I find that the phone book and calendar use alot of user memory in windows. These are two programs I like to have loaded at all times. Following is a small table I made using the MS sysmeter…
I still don't know why the custom fields I set up aren't in the fields picklist for export.
Memory use is under 25%. I am not certain what you mean by down loading by catagories. I will be glad to fax a copy of my record to you for review if you would give me a fax number to use. Thank you! Tom Fey
David, I will get an 4.1a first, because I dont know the release date of 4.1b for sure. Florian
#Lost Topic Pages
Message #43184
I was attempting to store my class rosters on individual Topic Pages, headed under another Topic Page called Class Roster. Thus, I have one Topic Page entry that reads Class Roster, and double-clicking on that brings up three more topic pages. Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way. Double clicking on…

John Try and expand printman.exe off of your Windows disks. If this doesn't work it's a printer driver conflict. Marisa, Okna Tech Support
Thomas, Please check to see if you have enough memory in your Wizard. I can't think of any reason why your own record won't download. It's wouldn't be because you have too much information in your record, DTS only downloads selected fields. Are you downloading by category? Marisa, Okna Tech…

#Help! Remdrs vanished!
Message #43082

Fred Okna will get back to you on the demo (I don't work for them). As to macros and add-ins, what word processor do you use? I've written at least one available macro for WordPerfect/Win 6.0a that lawyers seem to like (it helps that my wife is one). Out of…
Florian MUCH better. By the way, are you going to get an update to 4.0c/4.1a from Okna (I saw a post where you mentioned this) or are you going to wait to download 4.1b from CompuServe? David
