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

"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

"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.
