- Under the print option the print pocket calendar is dimmed out, how can I access?
- Why can't I set up my own schedule?
- I purchased the program in 8/11/02 and lost it in a disk crash. How can I get a new complete program?
- I still cannot figure out how to print the 12 month calendar in a pocket size. I have tried everything; at least I think I have. That was so convenient for me; I used to keep it in my purse so I always knew what shift was working.
- it won't let me buy the program... I've tried quite a few times over the span of a week's time and get the same error message, I want to buy but can't seem too... PLEASE HELP it's a great little program with this one little thing
The print pocket calendar is dimmed out, how can I access
The pocket calendar option only works with 24 months or more selected in the drop-down list.
Why can't I set up my own schedule?
The answer to this question is usually that the user has simply overlooked the fact that you can change the shift on duty each day directly in the calendar portion of the schedule designer.

A problem was found when changing paper size from within HotShift. This has been corrected in version 3.1.7
Use the printer setup to select a smaller paper size (even if there is actually letter size in the tray) . One method is to print two index card size six-month calendars and place them back to back and then laminate.

Paste this SN into an email, send to subframe I will then send keys by email to activate the program.
If at some future time your hard drive crashes or you replace your system just repeat this process. Just properly identify yourself in each email.
