While burning the midnight oil, I've noticed that at 0005 hours my VPR switches on and goes to Datebook+. This is the third or fourth time that this has happened. I suppose that this may always happen.

Has anyone else noticed this?

Not sure about this but I think that happens if you have 'Float Advance at Midnight' selected in Datebook+ Preferences. That's so floating events get rolled over to the next day.

Is there an appointment scheduled w/alarm at that time?

It's the only thing I can think of to cause that to happen.

That's the FBI's carnivore PDA software checking up on you.

Jupe may be right. I have "Float Advance at Midnight" checked and have noticed that if I am using my VDx just after midnight, it will always switch to Datebook+ at precisely 5 minutes after midnight. This can be very annoying when you are in the middle of an intense level of Zap!2000. I don't know for sure that it turns on at that time if it is off, but it sounds like the same thing.

Does anyone know for certain that their Visor does NOT switch to Datebook+ at 12:05 a.m.?

According to the Databook4 Manual:


Float Advance�: At the start of each day
when you first run Datebk4, you will see a
Scanning message as Datebk4 performs
daily housekeeping (such as moving all
floating events to the next day). You can
have Datebk4 do this automatically when
you are asleep by setting a time here.
Datebk4 will then wake up, do the house-keeping
and then let the machine automati-cally
power off. If you have a default
alarm time for untimed events, you should
make this time precede that alarm time (so
alarms on untimed floating events are seen
on the correct day).

I assume this works the same in Datebook+

Yup.. it's the float advance at work...

Also, in DateBk4, the scanning message not only appears the first time it's used after float advance, but after every hotsync as well.

And, since this applies to all Visor's, I moved the thread to How To...

Actually, I'm trying to get a "carnivette" to run on it! You'd be surprised at all of the spurious IR traffic going on.
