Answers

1. Can DaysOff 3.0 remove agenda entries from previous versions of DaysOff?

- No. Sorry.

2. Can I modify Database files?

- No. Perhaps we will write an other program for that.

3. Where can I find an up to date list of available country databases?

- This list is often subject to change (new countries, new translations, correction of days definition, ...). Check the last version on this page.

4. Do you certify the days off dates you give?

- No. We try to be as exact as we can, but it's complicated: some days are off only in certain states, etc... Comments are welcome, and dedicated database can be made. Check the last version of database contents on this page.

5. How to delete a country database?

- Use the "Remove Country" menu command after selection of the country you want to remove.

6. Can I insert two distinct country days off with one single operation?

- No, one country at a time, but several years at one time is OK.

7. What is the language chosen for day off labeling in DateBook?

- The labeling in the DateBook is done with the language currently selected.

8. What kind of DateBook DaysOff does support?

- DaysOff can only insert (and remove) entry in native Palm Pilot DateBook, and also in Dabebook 3. Dabebook 3 enhanced features (event category) are not available yet.

9. Does DaysOff work with PalmOS 1.0?

- No. At least Palm OS 2.0 at least is needed.

10. What is the DateBook Inspection feature?

- By setting the correct option (Setup menu command), DaysOff can check thePalm DateBook at any of the displayed day off dates. If the DateBook contains an event at this date, a diamond is drawn before the day off label. By tapping the diamond, you can jump to the datebook to inspect this date contents. An option allows you to go back to DaysOff after a fixed inspection time.

11. When inspecting DateBook, sometimes the datebook opens at the right date, but not the right year. Why?

- This appens only when at day off date, the DateBook contents only repeatable events. In Palm DateBook database structure, repeatable events are stored only once, and precisely at the first repeating event occurence. It is not possible to open directly the DateBook and to access to another event occurence than the first one.
