Re: Calendar problems and limits

Thanks, Friedhelm -- that's very helpful.  However ...

1.  What do you mean by "if related to your phonebook entries"? -- 
should that be calendar entries?

2.  I've created a new Appointments notepad folder (Scratch) as you 
suggested and it has the item text and date (with embedded time data) 
columns.  In my Calendar view, I also have Resp and Status columns and I 
want to be able to include them in the comparison. Both Resp and Status 
are popup columns, but they appear differently in the Folder Window.  
Resp has folder entries in that window for each of its popup values, but 
Status (which appears under New Columns) does not.  I have inserted the 
Status column (with its values) into the Scratch view.  When I insert 
the Resp column into the Scratch view, only the column (without its 
values) appears.  How do I insert the Resp values into the Scratch 
view?  Hope that's all clear!
