I only set the agenda to start from the current day because I didn't really care about seeing days that had already gone by. I think what surprised me the most was that, once I went to a specific day, and then back to week mode, and I started on a different day, was that I couldn't reset it to what it had previously been without exiting the agenda and starting over. I don't consider it a problem, just 'the way it is'. Now that I know that is how it works, I can deal with it. No, sorry, that's not saying it correctly. I have no problems what-so-ever with how it works, I just didn't understand it. Thanks for a great program! Dave in Largo, FL
