What do the calendar icons mean? Calendar>tool>options.
I know the bell shows an alarm is to ring an appointment, and the third is to show notes. But being new at this I'm not sure what the other icons are for. I read PPC for Dummies and looked on the web for tutorial but no luck. :( Also, I put two appoinpments in about 1/2 hour apart and it only shows one appointmenton the start screen. Shouldn't I see all appointments on that day? Thanks :D

I'm just wondering how I can input an all day event, such as someones birthday or something without giving it a specific time slot. I can do it on my desktop in Outlook - is there anyway to input it directly on the Axim?

I long ago decided it's OK not to use all the features of every program. I generally wait until I think I need a feature, then I go looking for it. The rest of the stuff, I would just forget after I figured it out anyway. So I don't know all the icons, but I know some of them.

The bell means you want a reminder (the Ax will turn on, sound a tone, and put a message on the screen). These actions are programmable, go to start menu, settings, personal, sounds & notifications, notifications. In box 1, select reminders. You can enable/disable/select the sound, decide whether a notification will be displayed on the screen, and decide whether the useless power light will flash.

The circle/arrows means this is a recurring appointment (every day / week / month / etc.)

The sheet with lines & pencil means this appointment has notes. (You can write 'em, then look at 'em later.)

I don't know what the house means, but I think it's related to assigning catgories.

I don't know what the two-headed person means, but I think it's related to assigning attendees.

To create an all-day appointment, change the Type from Normal to All-day.

The PPC calander interface is so terrible, that an entire industry has popped up to make the interface better, along with religious wars about whether calendar+ or Pocket Informant or Agenda Fusion is better. I would give you my opinion, but nobody else seems to share it. Just look around. You'll see plenty of posts.

The key means you have marked the appointment personal.
