SYMPTOMS
When you run Lotus Organizer version 2.01 under Windows NT, you cannot properly create Cost Codes or Customer Codes. Entering more than one character produces strange responses: either only one character codes can be created or only one character can be added to existing code names.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem:

 Avoid creating cost codes. Instead, create new cost and customer codes when you create the first new appointment, task, or other organizer entry. For example, to create a new Cost code for a task:

-or-

 Create and then Cost Code. Choose the Cost Code (or Customer Code) edit box. Type the first character of the new Code. The character will appear selected in the edit box. If a Code that starts with the character already exists, the last several characters of the existing code will be selected. Type the next character of the next code. Type only one character. Press the right arrow key. All characters become deselected and the flashing edit cursor appears at the right of the code. Repeat steps 4 and 5. After each step 4 you have to use step 5 to deselect text or the next character will replace it all.</li> When the new Code is complete, choose Add.</li> Choose OK</li></ol>

-or-

<ol> Choose Create and then Cost Code.</li> Choose the Cost Code (or Customer Code) edit box.</li> Press ALT + TAB to get to another application that supports text entry and copying and pasting (such as Windows NT Notepad).</li> Type the full text of the new Code and then copy it to the clipboard.</li> Press ALT + TAB to get back to Organizer.</li> Press CTRL + V or SHIFT + INSERT to paste the text into the Code edit field.</li> Choose Add.</li> Choose OK.</li></ol> </li></ul>
