#ADR Book Wont Open
Message #71543
After running Scandisk I can no longer open my address books. Calendar works fine. When I try to open several times I get an out of memory error message.
Dean, >> You will need to reset the recurring events after 1997.
#Sounds in Desktop Set
Message #71536
Having problems with sounds in 4.1b. Don't seem to get the other sounds that are listed. Are these special files or are they built into the system of Desktop Set. Just recently upgraded from 4.0c to 4.1b and noticed that the sounds listed do not work. I have a sound…

>>Anton, I don't know if i'm able to help you out with your problems as such, but if I might i'd like to ask you about your Plextor Quad-Speed CD-Rom. Is it a good system worth the time and money? I've seen it advertised quite a bit alongside others such…
#call logging
Message #71529
I'm having trouble with the call logging feature. I can't get it to work. I have 4.1b, but I could not get my previous version to work either. I called your office and they asked that I fax you. No one has replyed. I would like the automatic call logging…
Dean, >>Go to file/open, hold down ctrl+shift, and double click on the file that you want to open. When I open Calendar, I can't do anything else except to force it shut down. That error message window seems to take over. Any other ideas? Art
Dean, Okay, I deleted calendar.rsm, then opened Calendar. Got the same problem…getting the error message about the file locked open by a network user…forgot now. Do you have any other suggestions? I'm not able to do anything with Calendar…like open a file…except force it closed. I'm running DTS on top…
Nope, it still doesn't work. What next?
Dean: The font and size for Recipient's Address was set. This was done in Print Setup, Envelope Styles. Help. Steven
Thanks, Bud. Thanks for the info. Guess I will just stick with my basic Windows based Audio Calculator. Charles
I downloaded both 2/12 and 3/10. I did not see patch1.exe in the Okna Library. Where is it?
Please, Dean, what are the network options? Thanks. Miriam
Greyed entries?
Message #71501
Hi, Martine, Well I have DTS 4.1b running. 2 problems: 1- about 50% of the phone book entries (I have over 2,000 entries) are "greyed out". 2- many of the entries will not enter etc., on reminders although it does seem to work on the calendar. 3. Book and or…

William, Download the installation instructions update.txt from the forum. The readme file is compressed and can only be accessed after install. Dean Okna Tech

calender items lost
Message #71470
David, We have had similar reports with the update. Which version of DTS do you have? If it is the original upgrade, then also download the patch. Are you running calendar in start-up or overnight? This may cause problems. Disks will be available once all patches are complete for 4.1b.…
Joseph, Try the following init string. AT&F&C1&D2L3M2 Dean Okna Tech
Steven, Make sure that you have selected fonts and sizes for the addresses, and then use the test function on an 8 1/2 x 11 page and adjust the margins accordingly. Dean Okna Tech
Jeff, Exactly how are you trying to access speed dialer and what error messages are you getting? Dean Okna Tech
Art, Delete calender.rsm from your \desktop directory. Start calendar. Hold down ctrl+shift and double click on the calendar file. Go TO file/utilities/unlock events. Dean Okna TEch
Roy, Send us a copy of your backup and a calendar file that you are having a problem with. We will have development take a look and see if they can fix the problem. Dean Okna Tech
Wes, It should be available in our library as #d windows library file. It appears as CTL3dV.dll; rename it to CTl3DV2.dll. Dean Okna Tech
David, Did scandisk find any problems? If so, did you create an undo disk? You may want to try using the undo and see if it helps. Dean Okna Tech
Gerry, Thanks for the input. I'll make sure that Konstantin and Development are aware of the problem. Dean Okna Tech
Bill, I'm glad all is well. Dean Okna Tech

Caller ID help
Message #71410
I'm having trouble using the Caller ID program with the Zeus device. I have no trouble with the DOS program that Zeus supplies. The CallerID program recogizes the call, but can't find the number in the phonebook. Your Test routine can't find numbers either. Also, in the Address Book, 'find'…
ABook file transfer
Message #71406
I am trying to keep my Address Book coordinated between my laptop and desktop computers. I tried transferring abook.adr, abook.adx, abook, btr, abook.btx but my address book remains blank with no entries. What should I actually be transferring? Thanks Doug
Thanks. Right now I can not open my speed dialer at all. What gives? Jeff
Barry, I'll let you know when we here from development. I just passed on the info to keep you posted. Dean Okna Tech
Stephen, It sounds silly, but have you chosen fonts and sizes for the addresses. They are not set automatically, and could cause a problem if not chosen. Dean Okna Tech
Louis, You're not the only one. This has been suggested many times to development. It will not be in 4.1b, but may be in the following version; the print driver is being redesigned. Dean Okna Tech
USR Sporster 28.8 v.34
Message #71373
Thanks, I'll give it a shot. Odd thing is I have two sporters. The one I installed in the office works fine, except I can't get it to redial. The one at home disables the dialer. I'll try your string and see if it works. Joe

Message #71362
Hi, Is anyone else out there using Desktop under WARP. It seems to work, but is very slow. Any suggestions on setting, etc. will be appreciated. Thanks, Dale
>> The print driver is being redesigned for the major update, and will hopefully solve this problem.
#Floating Event bug
Message #71350
Konstantin, 4.1b displays the message "No enough space to move floating event: fs" instead of "Not enough space to move floating event: Meeting with Joe Bloe" – the "t" is missing from not – the string "fs" displays instead of the text for the floating event I like the new…

Message #71345
It would be nice if : 1) OLE support was added to Word Processor 2) ODBC driver was designed (need connections) 3) SPELL CHECKER for Word Processor 4) ACTION GROUP'S/ACTION PLANNER was included (like ACT!) ERIC R. HJELM Coldwell Banker Sunday, March 12, 95 / 9:11 PM
