SUMMARY
=======

The initial release of Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.0 came with
run-time versions of Asymetrix DayBook and ToolBook. Microsoft was responsible
for supporting these run-time versions. As of the release of the Microsoft
Windows operating system version 3.1, Asymetrix is responsible for supporting
all versions of DayBook and ToolBook.

This article includes information on some specific problems with DayBook and
ToolBook and possible solutions or workarounds.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Can't Drag Icons When Mouse Buttons Are Swapped
-----------------------------------------------

DayBook version 1.0 with the run-time version of ToolBook does not allow you to
drag icons when the mouse buttons are reversed or swapped in Control Panel. To
work around this behavior, click both the mouse buttons in quick succession; for
example, if the right button is the "active" button, quickly click the right
button, then click and hold down the left button.

Error When Compiling Script
---------------------------

The error message

  Error when compiling script: Syntax Error

may occur when DayBook is running and either Setup Applications is started from
the Windows Setup Options menu or Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows is being set
up. Quit DayBook and run Setup again.

Valid Dates Problem
-------------------

The error message

  Valid dates for this version of DayBook are 1-1-91 through 12-31-91. Please
  check your system date

may occur when the internal clock reaches 1992. According to Asymetrix, this
problem occurs only in ToolBook's DayBook version 1.5, in both the full and
run-time versions. There are two solutions to this problem:

1. Download DB15FIX.ZIP from the Asymetrix bulletin board service (BBS) at (425)
  451-1173.

2. If the full version of ToolBook 1.5 is being used, the DAYBOOK.SBK script
  file can be edited; the following two changes need to be made:

  a. Change "12-31-91" to "12-31-93".

  b. Change "12,31,91" to "12,31,93".

ToolBook and DayBook are manufactured by Asymetrix, a vendor independent of
Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding these products'
performance or reliability.
