I'd like anytime diary to do this and I can't find it in the options or preferences of the programme itself.
I think it was there as an option during the installationbut I didn't think I'd want this at the time.
Now, I find myself forgetting to look at the day plannersometimes and am worried to miss important appointments.
Hope someone can help. I know I could uninstal and re-instal the programme but I'drather not do this if it can be helpt as I'm not sure what would happen to
the saved data. Cheers now,Marie
