Ken writes in response to Steve's earlier comment: SjD>>> I don't want to have to pick and choose item by item what to export from the Wiz to DTS.<<< KH>>>I think I might have missed something here. I agree that I would want DTS to be able to recognize changed (new) information since the last download. But the point's a bit moot, don't you think, since DTS doesn't even offer the option to "export from the Wiz to DTS"… or are you trying to influence the future development of DTS?<<< Well, to be consistent with the DTS terminology I was using 'import' to mean 'import into DTS'. But yes, I'm expressing disappointment in the inability to import calendar information from the Wizard into DTS and hoping that since that same direction of information exchange was just implemented in the current revision (4.1b) for address information, that it is possible that Okna designers and programmers will see fit to implement Wiz—>DTS transfer of calendar info. If that is done, some kind of reconciling system becomes essential. This import and reconciling function is necessary for those of us who do not spend all day at our desk and make many appointments as we are moving about. Trying to remember what is new on the Wiz and entering it into DTS (a task I currently accomplish by flagging each entry with a symbol, searching for the flag, copying the Wiz entry by keying the entry into DTS) is a nuisance. If this one thing gets "fixed" (updated) then I've got everything I need in the tool and I'll be a happy camper. Thanks for the dialogue. It helps crystallize the thoughts. 🙂 Regards.//Steve — Steven J.
