Folks,

So far, I've got this set up to send everyone an e-mail message when
anyone sends a message to the group -- that's right, it'll work just
like a "mailing list," too.  That sounds good to me -- I don't recall
ever seeing an "ECCO mailing list" before, and it might be more
convenient for a lot of folks.

Let me know what you think -- I can always change that if a majority of
folks would rather not see these messages in their e-mail.  I'll
certainly try to be responsive to the groups members!

Folks,

Well, I guess I ought to do one of these...

This group is not associated with NetManage, Inc. in any way.  The ECCO
Pro trademark is a NetManage copyright.  The intent of this group is to
provide a resource for independent discussion of ECCO Pro by its
faithful users.  Should NetManage, Inc. object to the use of the ECCO
Pro trademark in the course of the discussions in this group, I'll shut
it down so fast it'll make your head spin!

Tom Hoots
thoots@...

Just signed up for the new discussion group.  Looks like a great
interface!

I'm so glad you started this group, Tom. I have been enjoying your
posts on various forums for several years. I look for help to continue
using Ecco. It helps me run my business like no other program.

Thanks, Tom.

I, too, am welcoming this newsgroup and URL.  The more chances we have
to spread the gospel of ECCO, the more likely it will be to survive.

Great idea Tom.  I've been missing Clicksright since it went down.

Regards,
Wayne Cressman

Having the mail appear in my email is perfect for me.

Fine for me, too!

Folks,

Thanks for coming on board!  Sorry I've been a little late in getting
back to you today -- I had a meeting right after work that should have
been about a half-hour, but it turned out to be a three-hour marathon!
Don't you just hate it when "life" starts interfering with your
computer fun? <g>

At any rate, I appreciate your membership in the ECCO Pro group, and I
hope we can have some great discussions and swap some valuable
information here!  Which reminds me, maybe I'd better start adding a
link to my web site in my posts, so you can have that close at hand.
Unfortunately, I seem to have dropped of the planet,
search-engine-wise, since I got my cable modem and its "@Home" ISP.
Even though I've submitted my URL's to a number of search engines, it
just seems that they just don't index the @Home sites or something to
that effect, so I'm definitely a little harder to find on the 'net
these days!  At any rate, if you don't have my "ECCO Assistance" URL
handy, here it is:

http://www.members.home.net/eccotom

Sure, I haven't changed a thing in several months, but I've still got
my tutorials up there, my sample files, and the instructions you'll
need to get a Palm or Visor unit synching with ECCO.

Again, thanks for coming on board, and we'll talk to you later!

Tom, beware of intruders when you connect via cable!
Do you have NetworkIce.com's Black Ice Defender

David,

Ahhh, you bet!  After getting the cable modem, I started frequenting
@Home's "security" newsgroup, and it seemed that the "AtGuard"
personal firewall was the most highly-regarded program by the folks in
the group.  I have been running it ever since, and I believe it does a
very good job!  Symantec apparently "bought" it or "licensed" it, and
it soon will show up as the main part of "Norton Security Suite 2000"
or some such similar name.

I also keep my background anti-virus program running all the time,
and, between them, I think I'm doing just fine.  I also avoid the
Microsoft e-mail applications, preferring instead a little yet
full-featured program named "The Bat!," which doesn't "run active
applications" in e-mail messages.  For instance, if you get an "HTML
mail message," usually the images in that message aren't sent to you
-- they are active links to graphics files on remote servers.  "The
Bat!" won't even download those so you can see them.  Which is just
fine with me!

In the end, I think I've got my system pretty well protected from the
"bad guys" out on the 'net! <g>

Folks,

Just a test here, in response to Tom Holman's message:

ttc> So far I haven't gotten any email from this group. Not that
ttc> there've been many messages, but I was wondering if I need to
ttc> configure anything on my end.

There shouldn't be anything for anyone to "configure," but you need to
be "registered" with eGroups as a member of the group in order to get
the messages e-mailed to you.  (Otherwise, eGroups doesn't know to
send anything to you!)  If you have signed up as a member of the
group, then you should be getting a copy of each message posted to the
group.  I'm hoping the case is that you just haven't registered, or
maybe we just haven't had any new messages since you signed up!

I hope this helps, and let us know how it goes!

Hello,

My Pilot To Do app has become intolerably slow,
probably because I'm
carrying around over 2 years worth of To Dos in there.
  I've consulted the
Ecco help file on how to archive older to dos so they
don't synch with the
Pilot.

However, the procedure seems incredibly time
consuming: you have to check
each and every To Do thay you don't want synched?

Is there a faster way to do this that I'm overlooking?
  Will deleting the To
Dos on the pilot while checking the "archive on PC"
box have the same impact
as checking the Pilot archive column in the To Do
notebook?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Tom,

Is there any way to receive a "digest" version of the messages from the
group?  I can see that if traffic increases, it could be a real problem for
those of us who get a massive number of messages each day.  I like to read
this stuff at my leisure and it is easier to handle in diget form.

Thanks for listening.

Ina

Not that I'm aware of, but I'll see what I can do!  Of course, you can
always filter your incoming messages into a different folder
(presuming your mail program can do that), and then just browse
through the messages on the eGroups web page when you've got the time.
Again, I'll check things out more thoroughly, but I think that may be
the closest we can get to a "digest version" at this point!

I'll let you know what I find out!

Best regards,

Tom Hoots
thoots@...
http://www.members.home.net/thoots

Yeah, I know that I can apply a filter.  It does however, add a nuisance
factor to open file after file when you can read a lot of messages in one
big swoop in a single file.

Most digests work on a daily or weekly compilation.  Daily means, of couse,
that problems will be answered in a more timely manner.  Most mailing lists
give the choice of single message receipts and digests.

Yes to question #1, and a big "I'm not sure" on question #2.  Question
#2
is a pretty moot point, though, since it would probably take even
longer
to work on those items on the Pilot.  The significant question is #1 --
indeed, there is a much faster way!

What you need is a "form."  If you make a form that says, "put a check
in
the 'Pilot Archive' folder," you can select a whole bunch of items, and
then choose to "apply form to items," and they'll all be checked in one
full swoop.

To make such a form, go to ECCO's "Tools" menu, and choose "New Form."
You'll get the "Create New Form" dialog box.  Just give the form a name
at the top of the box, say, something like "Pilot Archive."  Then, in
the
"Choose Fields" part of the box, find the "Pilot Archive" folder, and
click the "Add" button to move it over to the "Fields Chosen" part of
the
box.  Then, click on the "Default Values" button, and click in the
right-
hand area next to the folder name in the "Set Default Values for Form"
dialog box, so it shows a checkmark.  Finally, check the "Apply form,
don't display dialog" box at the bottom of the dialog box.  Click the
OK
button, and you've got yourself a form!

Now, you'll have the ability to select a whole bunch of items at one
time, and use the "Apply Form to Items" command from ECCO's Tools menu
to
apply that form to your items, and check the "Pilot Archive" folder for
them.  Of course, ECCO will show a toolbar button for that form and
that
action once you do it, which you can drag onto your toolbar somewhere
with your right mouse button.

Finally, all you need to do is get your To-Do's to line up in a row so
you can select a whole bunch of them at a time.  Of course, this being
ECCO, you can do just that, even if you've only had your To-Do's in
ECCO's Tickler section all along.  It goes something like this:

Excluding older To-Do's from synchronization

By default, all To-do's are synchronized with the Pilot. Most likely,
there are older items that you do not want to send to your Pilot.
To exclude these items, you can do the following in your ECCO file:

1. From the View menu, select Notepads, then New Notepad.

The Create Notepad dialog box appears.

2. Choose the Options button.

The Create Notepad Options dialog box appears.

3. Select Display The Items From Existing Folders In This Notepad.

4. Beneath Click On A Folder To Add To Notepad scroll to the To-Do's
folder which is a subfolder of Scheduling. If a + symbol appears to the
left of the Scheduling folder, click with the left mouse button on the
+
symbol to expand the subfolders.

5. Click on the To-Do's folder.

A checkmark will appear to the left of the folder and the folder name
will appear beneath Folders In Notepad.

6. Choose OK.

The Create Notepads dialog box appears.

7. Choose OK.

A Notepad view containing items in the To-Do's folder appears.

8. From the Tools menu, select Sort View.

9. Select Entire View, To-Do's in the listbox, and Ascending for Sort
Key 1.

10. Choose OK.

11. From the Column menu, select Insert Column, Existing Column or
Folder.

12. Scroll until you see Pilot Archive (check).

13. Click on Pilot Archive (check) to highlight the folder.

14. Choose OK.

The Pilot Archive folder becomes a column in the Notepad.

15. Click in the Pilot Archive column to add a checkmark beside each
item you do not want to synchronize with the Pilot.

When you synchronize, items with the Pilot Archive column checked will
not be sent to the Pilot.

ECCO Pro Online User's Guide   © 1993-1997 NetManage, Inc.

Yep, that's straight out of the ECCO help file!  Definitely, check out
the Pilot synching stuff, which is very complete and detailed like
this.
You'll find it at the bottom of the "Importing and Exporting" section...

Of course, instead of doing #15 above, just highlight a whole bunch of
your items, and then "apply that form" to them, and you'll have them
all
done in a few seconds!

There =is= a bit of work involved in the above, but I'm sure it'll be a
lot quicker than it sounds here, and it'll be a whole lot faster than
going through your calendar and individually clicking on each item!

I hope this helps -- good luck!

Tom,

I think your idea of carrying on where the Clicksright forum left off
is a great idea!  I think the NM newsgroups are great.  But I also
think it's good to have an independent source of info.  I put the link
to your eGroup on my IE5 links bar (only the important ones go there!).

I don't use Ecco as much I used to, since I'm enveloped in an
Outlook-centric world.  But I regularly 'lurk' in the NM newsgroups and
enjoy reading discussions about Ecco.  Ecco is still one of my all-time
favorite programs.  I've found it very satisfying to use.  I have to
admit that Outlook has a lot of power, but I always find myself working
hard to get things done with it.  Beyond that, I just plain DISLIKE it.
  But it gets the job done, and it's what most of the corporate world is
using these days.  I'm always toying with the idea of going back to
Ecco for my personal stuff, but I like to have both business and
personal stuff together, and I really haven't seen a good way to
integrate Ecco & Outlook.  Launching an e-mail client from within Ecco
just isn't enough.  Sigh.

That's it...  I hope your eGroup thrives!

Right.  I've checked into the eGroups options, though, and I definitely
don't have any option to send messages in a combined digest format,
sorry to say!  All I can do is either have "replies to messages" sent
to everyone, or just to the original sender.  And, of course, I've got
that set to "send them to everyone."  Perhaps they'll add that option
some day, but I don't think I'd advise holding your breath waiting for
that to happen!

I'll continue to monitor how folks feel about getting all the messages
generated by this group -- if a majority would rather not get them all
via mail, I'll make that change!

Hope that helps -- take care!

Tom Hoots
thoots@...

It would be nice to get a collective wish list going.  To hear the
pro's express their opinions would certainly help me understand the
underlying philosophy of time and information management built into
ECCO. Steve.

Tom,

Thanks for the thorough answer.  I'll try this at work tomorrow, and
I'm sure it will work.  This is exactly what I was looking for, and I
knew Ecco would have this feature.  You are a kind man to take the time
to explain it, even via cut/paste.

I already had created the new notepad, in preparation for trying Ina's
suggestion of using Auto Assign rules.  I got stumped when I got to
creating the rule, because it seemed I only could specify a text string
to match, but not a date range.  It seems you understand what I am
asking... would auto assign rules have worked for this too?

Thanks again,
don

I'm not that familiar with the auto assign stuff.  Most likely,
though, you'd wind up assigning =everything= to the "Pilot Archive"
folder, which isn't what you'd want to do, either.  I think doing the
form and just selecting a whole bunch and "letting them have it" in
one full swoop will be the best way to go.  Just sort 'em by date,
select all the old ones, and be done with them! <g>

Good luck with it!

Tom, I would rather not receive all the postings via e-mail. I do not
have the capacity to handle them all.

Hi,
      I was somewhat impressed with ACT! in it's contact management
features but then reminded myself that ECCO could obviously be built
into something more versitle and customized to my particular needs so
I'm just polling for suggestions or a template that anybody might want
to share. I want to track interactions with the various people I do
web design for (phone calls, letters received, meeting notes, emails,
billable time, etc). This is probably too big an order to handle with
a simple reply buy I'm trying to build a knowledge base from which I'll
eventually construct a History tracking tool. Thank you, Steve.

On TH's advice, I installed the PalmConnect USB kit from Palm
Accessories.  Damn, it's nice when something works.  Plugged it in to
Windows 98 computer and it immediately recognized it.  I pointed to the
"inf" file on the CD and that was it!  Popped the Palm in the cradle
and it worked flawlessly.

It's an elegant solution, especially for us with only one com port who
desire to synch email thru the dialup.
