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

Medical care isn't evil, just too frequently ill-informed and inefficient.
Opinions are _all_ mine. I'm often wrong, but never in doubt.
