For the past few days, I've been getting a DTS crash every time I try to print a weekly schedule, or a combo folder (which prints a weekly schedule). CALENDAR.EXE gets GPF at 0032:0709 I've tried running the file doctor from inside the phone program, and I've re-installed all the programs from the distribution disks. Please let me know what other info you need to diagnose this. I'm very frustrated at not being able to do something I've been doing for months. (and gotten used to having) THanks /egp

Ed, It sounds like the weekly schedule print setup file has gotten corrupted. Go to your desktop directory and rename "dtsfweek.tpl" to "dtsfweek.old". Open the Calendar and go to "File/Print setup/Week-at-a-glance" to set up your print options again. Then try printing the weekly schedule. FYI, Running file doctor only repairs Address Book databases. Let me know how it works. Sincerely, Martine Carlson Okna Technical Support

I've renamed DTSFWEEK.TPL to DTSFWEEK.OLD. The print options seemed to still be set – nothing had changed… and the print still crashes. Another strange symptom – the starting date in the week-at-a-glance only has room for 9 characters, so today's date shows as 10/11/199 and the print routine complains about an incorrect starting date.

Dear Ed: The template file for week at a glance is DTSWEEK.TPL not DTSFWEEK.TPL. (Confusing, huh?) Try renaming that one to see if it solves your problem. You have the century option selected in your Control Panel/International/Date format… section. You will need to remove this option to avoid this problem. This conflict has been reported to development. Sincerely, Tracy McKenna Okna Tech Support

Tracy – You were absolutely correct. I had teh century option selected in the control panel. I disabled it and the crash went away. I don't think the .TPL files had anything to do with it. THanks so much for the support. /egp
