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…
#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…
I'll give that a try. Thanks.
#Quick Find Prob
Message #70516
I've noticed an inconsistent problem with the Quick Find and Find menu feature. When I do a search by category, then select one of the records that is shown in the search, the program does not go to that record. In fact, it occasionally goes to a record some distance…
I'll look, but I don't think I have retries set at all.
I found the options box – it's kind of buried under other menus. Is there a default options setting I can use to have all appointments paged? Also, when the machine dialed the pager, it rang the pager all right, but the dialer displayed a message that read "Line busy."…
#Pager Notification
Message #68704
I found the setup, but I don't see where to key the program to call the pager instead of ring the local alarm when an appointment comes due.
I tried reloading the program from the distribution disk, and then again tried to get a file export. I got the same GPF as before, same message and code error location. I have done file exports satisfactorily in the past, but I'm not having any luck now. I need to…
I use a program called Barclock to start my calendar and reminders every morning at 0800. Among other useful features (it places the date and time in the top bar of the active Windows program, has alarms, a calendar, and a resource monitor), it will run programs at preset times…
If I try it with a different category, I get an error message "no records found or bad file name." I'll try reinstalling the program – my disks are at home, so I can't do it today.
#GPF on Export From Phone
Message #48932
Yesterday, I tied to export a group of names and addresses from Phone Book, all assigned to a single category. I am trying to export them to a Quattro-compatible file. When I hit the "Export" button to send the records to the new file, I get a GPF with the…
I am sending the backup copies – it took two disks! To see the problem, try searching for the name "Willie Smith." It shows in the name list, but selecting it gets you nowhere. I am looking for a Topic Page called "PL120 – Class Roster."
I did exactly as you asked, and got the same result. I'll try sending you the disk.
#Group Export Problem
Message #43251
I'm having a lot of trouble exporting a portion of my address book to a Quattro file. I have the Group created, and have printed out and followed step-by-step the instruction sin online help, but when I try to export, I get a message that the export file name is…
I still don't know why the custom fields I set up aren't in the fields picklist for export.
#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…
