REPORTED: by author 11-22-95
"Noticed that TAB index order was out of whack down around the area
of the pager number field"
ANSWER: Fixed
REPORTED: by Carlos C.
"When choosing to enter new record, the cursor is not jumping to the
first name field."
ANSWER: Fixed
REPORTED: by Carlos C.
"Birthday, Anniversary and Graduation fields do not bring up the popup
calendar. Is the year supposed to always be the current year?"
ANSWER: The graduation field has been removed. The popup calendar is
now strictly a user option by clicking on the field description button
to the left of the field. Date has been reduced to MM/DD without the
year, since the year is not important in an address book. This field
is still masked on input.
REPORTED: by Carlos C.
"Pager number could be included plus extension instead of graduation
date."
ANSWER: This is exactly what was done.
REPORTED: by Carlos C.
"Could names be sorted by categories, such as Family, Friends and
Business?"
ANSWER: This was a great idea and suggestion. It took a bit of rewriting,
but this was accomplished. Not only does each record flag this category,
but I have also implemented this in the Quick-List feature to list ONLY
Family, Friends or Business OR an optional ALL listing.
REPORTED: by Carlos C.
"Favorite color, favorite sport and gift idea should be combined into one
somehow, maybe in a NOTES field?"
ANSWER: Again, another super idea. I have eliminated all three of those
original fields and replaced it with a COMMENTS field which is a free form
text entry gadget with word wrap! It currently has a 400 character limit
which can be changed later if it appears that it isn't enough space. I
have enabled vertical scrolling.
REPORTED: by Tom Burker Jr.
"When editing the comments field, the program will not accept editing or
additional data and I am nowhere near 400 characters."
ANSWER: This was a programming error. The program was reading the entire
400 characters (actual data + null characters) which made it appear that
the comments field was always full. Added a TRIM$() function that reads
in only valid data and strips null characters.
REPORTED: by Carlos C.
"Could car phone be changed to cellular phone?"
ANSWER: Yes, and it has been changed.
REPORTED: by Carlos C.
"Home and fax numbers should show the numbers aligned."
ANSWER: Fixed this by listing the phone number and THEN the name, rather
than the reverse.
REPORTED: by Carlos C.
"First, last, previous and next gadgets do not always respond if clicked
very rapidly."
ANSWER: This is the nature of the routine, however, these functions were
never meant to scroll through large quantities of records. The Quick-Pick
List feature was created for easy record location.
REPORTED: by Carlos C.
"If I later update/add an anniversary or birthday date, it will not let me
add/edit the data."
ANSWER: Should be fixed now with the restructuring of these fields.
