Thank you, I sent him a PM.  Maybe he will know what the problem is.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Problem with user events disappearing

« on: May 15, 2014, 07:53:28 pm »

I have finally found out the root of my problem with trying to put in user events.  Hal is not recognizing them because there are no user events.  Even the stock ones like "appointment" are gone.  I can copy the zabaware folder back over from my backup, restoring the user events, and it will work for a short period of time and then loses the user events again.  Usually this is no more than 1 minute.  I suspect that the first time I open and close the user event dialog it is erasing the table, when I go back everything is gone.  Any idea why?

Sorry for the tone of the last reply.  I have been on this problem several hours a day for 3 days and my patience is just getting strained.

I found a post from 2010 giving the exact commands to get hal to do a user defined event.  I have used the commands to the letter but I keep getting nonsense replys and my user defined events have been erased for some reason.  This has been repeated several times.

I really do want to buy this program, but if it can't manage a simple daily reminder it is useless.

Does anyone even reply to these forums anymore?

Still have not figured it out.  Typing in the reminders does not seem to work correctly.  Set User Defined Events allows me to set a daily reminder, but I can't figure out how to specify the time for the reminder.  Please help.  This is the primary reason for considering buying and I would really like to find out how.

Hmm. still having some problems.  It took some appointments, now when I tell it another one it repeats one that is already in there.  It would not be limited to one a day would it?

Ok, I found a way to get it to do a daily appointment (at least I think it will work tomorrow), you just have to type it in rather than use the appointment app.  I guess due to syntax some of the times it does not work.  The appointments that I typed in are not on the calender, so is there a way to get Hal to list them so I know which ones worked and which ones did not?

If I type "what are my appointments" it opens the appointment calender which does not list these that have been put in by hand.

One reason I am considering buying Hal is because I have a very bad memory, even forgetting daily tasks.  The appointment calender seems to work fine but I have not found any way to get it to speak an alarm at the same time every day.  Any help?
