Thanks You might look at More (either 2 or 3), paying special attention to the Library function, which allows you to set up custom calendars. It operates in every other respect like any More outline. As an aside, More's PC counterpart, GrandView, does almost exactly what you would expect a very sophisticated to-do list to do! Each head and sub-head can have several categories attached to it (user-defined) and outlines can be viewed in terms of these categories (date due, person responsible, etc.) I had hoped that More 3 would have some of that facility built-in, but I am still using GrandView to do my scheduling. Luck. ______________________________________________________________ | Rick McCormack | IMAGISTICS BUSINESS THEATRE TECHNOLOGY | | Vancouver, BC | Information transfer - with a purpose. | | CANADA | ________________________________________ | | AOL: Rique | INTERACTIVE COMPREHENSIVE ENLIGHTENING | |________________|____________________________________________|

It's part of the Smart Alarms package from JAM software. But if you don't need anything fancy, knowing how it works can save you some money. What these programs usually do, is locate a special application file on your server. The application or DA scans all mounted disks for it's files and loads them when you open the application. Well Why not just keep a multi-user hypercard stack on your server instead? This is not to be construed as a complaint about SmartAlarms. Our users like it. It's well priced for a small network. I recommend it for users who don't like to tinker. One problem, we use the 6.0.1 laserwriter drivers, and the program doesn't support them correctly. We have had only one user disapointed by this.
