           The first time you use Progress Planner Professional a window

           This file is located in the directory you specified for the
           program installation.  (Default location for this file is
           "c:\Program Files\Progress Planner Pro\PPPro_be.mdb")

Trouble Shooting:
	0. During installation a message may appear indicating the
	program cannot write to a ".dll" file.  For example you may
	get a message like:
        "Cannot write to the file c:\windows\system\wininet.dll" or
	"Cannot write to the file c:\windows\system\urlmon.dll".
 
        Probable Cause: Windows is presently using these files.
       
        Solution:  You should choose IGNORE in response to this 
	error message and the installation will continue.  At the
	end of the installation you should get a message confirming 
        that the program was successfully installed.  If you get a
	message that the program was NOT successfully installed
	please contact technical support.


        1. Unable to find file "PPPro_be.mdb"

        Probable Cause: File moved or installed in directory other than
        default directory.

        Solution: This file is located in the directory you specified 
        for the program installation.  (Default location for this file
        is "c:\Program Files\Progress Planner Pro\PPPro_be.mdb")
        
        2. The last two digits of the date in the goal and task list
        in Step 2 and Step 3 do not fit in the space provided.

        Cause: Progress Planner uses the short date format of
        M/d/yy to conserve space.  If your machine's short date format
        is set to display dates as in the MM/dd/yyyy then the date will
        be cut off in some fields.  Note that this issue will not
        affect the operation or the printing of reports.  Changing 
	this setting is optional.

        Solution: Change computer short date format as follows:
           (1) From the Windows Start menu select Settings
           (2) Select Control Panel
           (3) Select Regional Settings
           (4) Select the Date tab
           (5) Select the Short date style M/d/yy from the drop down 
	       list
           (6) Click on the Apply button
           (7) Click on the OK button
 

        3. Progress Planner functioned normally for a period.  
	Now an error occurs when attempting to start Progress Planner.
           
        Probable Cause:  Necessary files have been moved or deleted.

	Solution: Rerun setup from the CD-ROM or the downloaded file
        and re-install the program in the same directory you used 
        for the original installation.  Do NOT uninstall the program 
        or you will loss all the data you have entered. If this does
        not work then try to compress and repair the files 
        (See Notice 5 above). 
   
        4.  The number 4 appears in the header after the end date 
	in the goals and tasks list.

        Probable Cause: Progress Planner uses a commonly available 
	font called Monotype Sorts to display a check mark in the
	header of the goals and tasks lists. You are probably 
	missing this file.

        Solution: You will need to install the font file "mtsorts_.ttf" 
        that is located in the directory where you installed the 
        Progress Planner files.
           (1) From the Windows Start menu select Settings
           (2) Select Control Panel
           (3) Select Fonts
           (4) Select File - Install New Font
           (5) Choose the path to the file "mtsorts_.ttf"
           (6) Click OK

        5.  If you have the full version of Access 97 or Access 2000 
	and you click any Access database, the run-time application 
	attempts to run.

	Solution for Access 97:  Use the following command line to 
	switch to properly register the full version of Microsoft
 	Access 97
           (1) Click Start, and then click Run
           (2) Type the following command line:
    "c:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\MSACCESS.EXE" /regserver

        Solution for Access 2000:  Start Access 2000.  This will 
	automatically register the full version.
