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-

  1. Create and then Cost Code.

  2. Choose the Cost Code (or Customer Code) edit box.

  3. 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.

  4. Type the next character of the next code. Type only one character.

  5. Press the right arrow key. All characters become deselected and the
     flashing edit cursor appears at the right of the code.

  6. 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.

  7. When the new Code is complete, choose Add.

  8. Choose OK

  -or-

  1. Choose Create and then Cost Code.

  2. Choose the Cost Code (or Customer Code) edit box.

  3. Press ALT + TAB to get to another application that supports text entry and
     copying and pasting (such as Windows NT Notepad).

  4. Type the full text of the new Code and then copy it to the clipboard.

  5. Press ALT + TAB to get back to Organizer.

  6. Press CTRL + V or SHIFT + INSERT to paste the text into the Code edit
     field.

  7. Choose Add.

  8. Choose OK.
