Ivory Wand - Programming

Surprise, Surprise

All The Time - spontaneous outbursts

Enthusiastic Praise

We solicit it, shamelessly. We like it better than money, so that's what we ask for. And folks are often nice enough to drop us notes to tell us when they use and enjoy ATT.

There was a great mention of an early version of All the Time in the June 1993 issue of Windows Sources magazine, alongside a groovin screen shot of an ATT Settings screen that now looks positively pristine in comparison to the current multitude of options. Bigtime gratification and ego-boo.

The one that had us turning cartwheels and skipping down the street was our inclusion in Woody Leonhard's and Barry Simon's CD-MOM: The Mother of All Windows Books. I tattooed the following on my forehead: "On a coolhood scale from one to ten, this is an eleven."

Suggestions

We also solicit ideas for improvements to ATT, and a fair number of them actually find their way into the program, surprising given our strict requirements. Enhancements must be:

Hi Wilson !

Thank's a lot for your very-very-very good calender / status-bar, programmed
under VB. This is a good example to learn "more" about VB-Programming ...

Maybe there could be more REM-Lines, to explain the API-Calls 8-))))

As you asked for more ideas ... Here is one  8-)))

At work (I work in the Training Dept. of a Computer-Company) we use a 
very old time-tool which shows us a small window, when it is time to make a 
break --- or when it is time to knock off ....

We use it very hard, because in the ardour, the most of us forget to 
make a break 8-)))

That would be a great extension in your Program if you could save 5 to 
10 alarm times (weekley, dayly etc.) 8-)))

Oh yes ... bevore I vorget ... I found a small bug ... when you make a
double-click on the moon, you get an illegal function call.

OK ... once again ... thank's  8-))) ... and bye !

Markus from Germany

PS:     As I know only the "basics" of VB-Programming, I would be 
        interested in good books, which push you up from a beginner 
        to an expert  8-)))

        By the way ... what are you doing by profession ?

"Should I keep trying or do I need help?"

Adding "All the Time" to your addressbook on CompuServe means that it's real easy to accidentally send a question intended for "All" to someone who, to say the least, isn't going to have a clue. Particularly easy to do if you're all hopped up about a bad disk in your new fax software package,

     I am not a happy camper!!!!!!! 

     I recieved the communications Suite 2.1 directly from Delrina just a
     couple of days ago.  The software will not install !!!!!!!!!!! 

     I tried installing three times.  All faiures.  Error message "File copy
     operation failed - incorrect number of bytes written to disk - source file
     or destination disk may be corrupted - use chkdsk Source: B:\README DEST
     C:\COMMUN\WINFAX\README. 

     I rant CHKDSK on both the diskette and my drive C.  No error was reported.
     I ran Norton Disk Doctor on Both disk.  Still not problem. 

     I copied all disk to hard drive.  Would not load. 

     I dupilicated the offending disk using DISKCOPY.  The installed failed for
     the same reason. 

     I duplicated the disk using XCOPY.  Same resultes. 

     I deleted the DAMN readme file.  Then I got an error that the file was
     missing. 

     I got this offer with my INTEL modem to upgrade, to the full suite, but i
     need help.

     whenever I use : 
             DoCmd GoToControl 
     The cursor resides on a cursor with all the text highlighted and selected.
     What code can I add that will position the cursor to the end of the text
     without selecting the whole text. Thank you

     I tried to download wcinst.exe twice and each time I got the error message
     box with the error message: "Bad Transmission". I have had no trouble
     downloading lots of other stuff recently. Should I keep trying or do I
     need help.

And hey!

Why not...

...go ahead and tell Xplex just how groovy ATT looks?
