What it Does

I often find that I am staring at a patient's name on my Psion screen and am wondering when our next appointment is. With datelink, I just tap anywhere in the name (or select the entire name) and invoke the macro. It opens up the file C:\Documents\dates using Agenda and searches for occurrences of the name.

What You Need

• An EPOC device.
• Macro5 by Pascal Nicolas.
• The datelink package. It contains this documentation, the source (datelink.opl) and object (datelink.opo) files.
• Stuffit Expander to expand the package.

What You Do

• Place datelink.opo in your macros directory.
• Assign a hotkey to it using Macro5.

Other Information

Searching the Agenda file can take a good long while, and seems to be difficult to interrupt some times. Is there a way to do this better?

If you have comments, problems, or suggestions, please feel free to email me. I'll answer as soon as I can.
