[*]Added "Feb 29" as a valid date for yearly events. Added the possibility to edit an event directly from the main window, using Ctrl+DoubleClick when the pointer is over the event. Changed the $Age{} macro to accept zero and negative years. The English version of the $Age{} macro is always accepted, no matter the language of the program. Created the dutch version of the program (Thanks to Thibaud Chabot).

Nice try, but... If you want a really cool and free daily reminder program, try DateTrac, available at soucek.clearwire.net/filetrac.html It reminds you at system boot time then exits, rather than remaining in your tray and sucking resource all day long. ZERO registry entries, so it's totally portable. Give it a try.

Cornflower on 2010-11-12 23:30

Nice look and feel. However, I gauge any reminder system by whether it can do the Thanksgiving (2nd Tuesday October in Canada or 4th Thursday November USA), or every x weeks. This one unfortunately doesn't do either.

I tried this program on two XP computers. The window appears and quickly disappears. The program doesn't even work when you just try to install it to the hard drive.

Euler German on 2007-03-13 13:53

Working greatly here on my XP Pro SP2, since first install. No quirks of any kind.

Chester Kight on 2010-02-11 02:26

I have used this program lots of times on several computers with no problem. I am on this site because I could not find the program on this computer, so I re-installed from from a previously downloaded file. My AVG antivirus program flagged the executable as dangerous, and removed it. It is a great program, and I have no idea why it was flagged, as it never had been before. I am going to delete my old download, and download it again. I am using XP on all present computers, and I do not remember if I was using it with Win98, which I continued to use until a couple of years ago.
