Thanks Richard.
You were on the ball with swapping the dates position, and that’s now
working okay.
However, the same can't be said for my "C-c C-c" problem. I've never
been able to get "C-h anything" working, so I just "F1 k" which has
the same effect. *Help* says -
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
org-ctrl-c-ctrl-c is an interactive compiled Lisp function in
`org.el'.
(org-ctrl-c-ctrl-c &optional ARG)
Set tags in headline, or update according to changed information at point.
This command does many different things, depending on context:
- If a function in `org-ctrl-c-ctrl-c-hook' recognizes this location,
this is what we do.
- If the cursor is on a statistics cookie, update it.
- If the cursor is in a headline, prompt for tags and insert them
into the current line, aligned to `org-tags-column'. When called
with prefix arg, realign all tags in the current buffer.
- If the current buffer is a capture buffer, close note and file it.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
which explains why it is using the tag instruction as it only works
if it is on the header part of the item. But it seems that it is not
registering my *remember* buffer as a "capture buffer".
However, org-capture is working well, prefacing my "timelog.org""
with CAPTURE- in front, like "CAPTURE-timelog.org". Maybe then it is
time to retire "remember" as "org-capture" seems to have taken over?
But that's for another post.
Sharon.
