Thanks for the suggestion, Carol. Actually, I m not in the habit of checking the appointments for the day because I haven't started really using the planner yet. I am still learning my BNQT and I only started synchronizing the planner and contacts a couple of months ago when I finally got my phone synched with my PC. I'll have to try to work on this more.
