Hold up! I might not be following your drift here, have you set IE7 to start automatically when Windows starts. If so then it may be that it starts before all the network connections have been made. If you close down, wait a sec and restart IE7 does it work then? Regards.

I'd like anytime diary to do this and I can't find it in the options or preferences of the programme itself. I think it was there as an option during the installation but I didn't think I'd want this at the time. Now, I find myself forgetting to look at the day planner sometimes and am worried to miss important appointments. Hope someone can help. I know I could uninstal and re-instal the programme but I'd rather not do this if it can be helpt as I'm not sure what would happen to the saved data.
