I'm almost embarressed to say it but ........ I have no idea what the location field is used for in the Palm Desktop. I think it could help me out but an not sure. I see in the preferences, that you can select the "format for displaying location such as: Staff meeting @ Bldg 1, Staff meeting - Bldg 1, Staff meeting (Bldg 1), or do not show. But ................ what does this mean? If I put in the location field: "Hospital" , where is it going to show up on the Palm Desktop and how / what format (what will it say)?

Sorry.... I know this sounds so trivial but I don't want to be missing out on a useful feature and I can't find any documentation on it.

Thanks in advance for any words of wisdom!

It's more useful in Outlook when you have a "corporate" environment with multiple meeting rooms in the campus? And you are a corporate type.

I'm in sales and as such my meetings are typically at the customer's place of business so the contact tells you what you need to know.

I'd be really surprised at how many Palm desktop'ers actually use this separate location field but I do see benefit for an "office" situation and Outlook as noted with a huge complex being involved.

BTW - the program I used to capture the screen shots is called SnagIt and it's pretty useful for training and other things. It even allows you to capture "video" from web sites that don't make it easy....

And your welcome......I do accept beer as payment but as yet have not figured out a way to transport if via the web. ;) :D
 
Thanks .........yeah, I was wondering that (the screen shot thing). Nice! ALMOST convinced me to pick up a copy- just don't have the scons right now.

Later,
