Issue Printing Issues
Description  
Solution When attempting to print using Calendar Creator™ 8, some parts of the calendar print incorrectly or the calendar does not print at all. Outdated or corrupt printer drivers can cause this issue. In addition, conflicts with the video driver or incorrect settings can cause various printing issues. Troubleshooting these areas will help to identify the source or sources of the issue. To help resolve the issue, install a different printer driver to emulate the printer, and select that printer when printing from the program. The steps below describe changing the printer driver.

NOTE: Contact the printer manufacturer for the driver or drivers that will emulate the specific printer in use. There are known printing issues on some systems when using the HP® DeskJet® 680C. If the printer is an HP® DeskJet® 680C printer, try the HP® DeskJet® 550C printer driver for the emulation.

In some instances, depending on the system, you may be prompted to insert the Windows® operating system CD or the System Restore or Recovery CD when the procedure below is completed.

Printer Emulation: Changing the Printer Driver (Windows® 95/98)
 
  1. Click Start, select Settings and click Printers. The Printers window will open.
     
  2. To add a printer, double-click the Add Printer icon. The Add Printer Wizard dialog box will open.
     
  3. Click Next.
     
  4. When asked how the printer is connected to the computer, select Local (if on a stand-alone computer), or Network (if a network printer is available to several computers simultaneously).
     
  5. Click Next. The window that opens will display a list of printer manufacturers on the left side and the corresponding models on the right side.
     
  6. Select the appropriate manufacturer and model for the printer you are emulating and click Next.

    NOTE: If you do not see the manufacturer or model in the list, refer to the printer documentation, or contact the printer manufacturer to determine another emulation driver for the printer.

     
  7. In the screen that opens, configure the port that the printer is attached to. (Most of the time, a Local Printer will be attached to LPT1.) If a different LPT port or alternate connection such as USB is used, select the appropriate option and click Next.
     
  8. Name the printer or use the default printer name. The opportunity to select this printer as the Windows® default printer is also presented.

    NOTE: If Yes is selected for the Windows® default option, all Windows® applications will use this printer automatically. Select No if a default printer in Windows® is already designated, and this printer driver is for printing only when using a particular program.

     
  9. Select Yes for the option to print a test page.
     
  10. Click Finish. (If prompted, insert the Windows® CD.) If the test page prints correctly, the new driver that was installed is a valid emulation for the printer. With the installation complete, the printer should appear in the Printers window.
     
  11. Close the Printers window.
     
  12. Launch Calendar Creator™ 8 and try printing using the new printer driver that was installed.
The information that follows identifies other possible causes of print-related issues.

Font Reduction Feature Enabled
 
  1. Choose File from the menu bar and select Preferences.
     
  2. Click the Overflow tab.
     
  3. Either uncheck the Reduce Font Size option, or change the point size.

    NOTE: This feature is designed to reduce the size of event fonts, allowing more information to fit within a day cell. If it is disabled, or the point size is set too high, some overflow may occur.
Video Driver Conflict

Conflicts with video drivers can cause the Print Preview to display improperly and may affect the printed output. The most common results are reduced font size or changes in font style. Contact the computer or video card manufacturer, or visit their website to ensure that the most recent update of the video driver is installed.

Multi-function or Postscript Printers

Calendar Creator™ 8 is incompatible with most multi-function and postscript printers. There are no resolutions for issues that occur when printing using these printers.
 
Issue Sort Events by Priority on the Calendar
Description  
Solution All events in Calendar Creator™ 8 are assigned a priority value of 1 by default.

To assign a specific priority to an event, complete the following:
 
  1. Double-click within a day cell to access the Add Event dialog box.
     
  2. In the Priority field, enter a number between 1 and 99.
NOTE: It is also possible to add a Priority to an existing event by opening the Modify Event dialog box. Double-click on the actual event text. The Add Event dialog window will open.

  1. Right-click within a day cell that does not contain event text.
     
  2. Select Properties from the menu.
     
  3. Click the Miscellaneous tab.
     
  4. In the Sort Events By: field, select By Priority (Up) or By Priority (Down).
     
  5. Click OK to apply the selection and return to the calendar view.
 
Issue Installation Fails: Calendar Creator™ 7 Detected

Issue .CSV Files Will Not Import from Outlook®
Description  
Solution Attempts to import .CSV files created in Microsoft® Outlook® into Calendar Creator™ 8 are unsuccessful. In some instances an error message may appear. An incorrect interpretation of the imported .CSV file causes this issue and error. Calendar Creator™ 8 is unable to interpret the format of the .CSV files created in Microsoft® Outlook® because the time indicator includes "seconds" and the dates are enclosed in quotation marks.

Additionally, the .CSV file data is not consistent in the column(s) that appear in Calendar Creator™. As a result, the fields are incorrectly assigned.

Issue Attempt to Access Dock Bar Past Its End
Description  
Solution After attempting to open a calendar (.bcc) file, the following error message occurs: "An attempt was made to access dock bar past its end." This error generally indicates that the calendar file you were attempting to open is corrupt. Using a backup (if a backup exists) to replace the corrupt calendar file should resolve the issue. Calendar Creator™ 8 creates an automatic backup of each calendar collection file if the Backup option is enable.

NOTE: If the backup option was not enabled, a backup of the file that generated the error message will not exist.

To replace the corrupt file using the automatic backup, follow the steps below.
 
  1. Close Calendar Creator™ and return to the desktop.
     
  2. Double-click My Computer icon to open the My Computer window.
     
  3. Double-click the C: (hard drive) icon.
     
  4. Double-click the Program Files folder.
     
  5. Double-click the Calendar Creator™ 8 folder. This folder contains a file that has the same name as the calendar file that generated the error. The file extension is .bak.

    NOTE: For example, if the file that generated the error message was named business.bcc, the backup file with the same name will be business.bak.

     
  6. Double-click the backup file with the .bak extension. This file is a backup of the calendar file.
     
  7. Click File on the menu bar and select Save Collection As.
     
  8. Rename the file. It is recommended to renamed the file with a unique filename.
NOTE: This solution may not work in all instances. If the auto-backup feature was disabled, there will be no *.bak file available to rename. Additionally, the program may be unable to restore files in instances of extreme file damage.
