	(1) From the Windows Start menu select Programs
	(2) Select Progress Planner from the list of programs
	(3) Select Progress Planner

	The first time you use Progress Planner a window may appear
	requesting the location of the file ProgressPlanner_be.mdb
	This file is located in the directory you specified for the
	program installation. (Default location for this file is
	"c:\Program Files\Progress Planner\ProgressPlanner_be.mdb".)

	This program was designed for a screen resolution of 
	800 by 600 pixels. If your screen resolution is 
	greater than this you can click on the Size Window button 
	between the "_" and "X" in the top right corner of the 
	Progress Planner title bar and size the window to a more 
	appropriate size. For screen resolutions less than 
	800 by 600, you will need to use the scroll bar to 
	view a complete page.

Uninstall:
	Follow these steps to uninstall Progress Planner
	(1) From the Windows Start menu select Settings
	(2) Select Control Panel
	(3) Select Add/Remove Programs
	(4) From the Install/Uninstall tab select Progress Planner
	(5) Click on the Add/Remove... button

Repair:
	You should repair and compress Progress Planner files if 
	you need to recover hard disk space or you find the
	performance of Progress Planner to be slow.

	To repair and compress Progress Planner data files

	(2) From the Windows Start menu select Programs
	(3) Select Progress Planner from the list of programs
	(4) Select Repair & Compact files

Troubleshooting:
	1. During installation a message may appear indicating the
	program cannot write to a ".dll" file. For example, you may
	get a message like:
	"Cannot write to the file c:\windows\system\wininet.dll" or
	"Cannot write to the file c:\windows\system\urlmon.dll".

	Probable Cause: Windows is presently using these files.

	Solution: You should choose IGNORE in response to this 
	error message and the installation will continue. At the
	end of the installation you should get a message confirming 
	that the program was successfully installed. If you get a
	message that the program was NOT successfully installed
	please contact technical support at support@progressplanner.com.


	2. When you attempt to run Progress Planner, the following message appears:
	"Unable to find file progressplanner_be.mdb".

	Probable Cause: File moved or installed in directory other than
	default directory.

	Solution: This file is located in the directory you specified 
	for the program installation. (Default location for this file
	is "c:\Program Files\Progress Planner\ProgressPlanner_be")

	3. The last two digits of the date in the Goals list in Step 2 and Tasks list
	in Step 3 do not fit in the space provided.

	Cause: Progress Planner uses the short date format of
	M/d/yy to conserve space. If your machine's short date format
	is set to display dates as MM/dd/yyyy then the date will
	be cut off in some fields. Note that this issue will not affect the 
	operation or the printing of reports. Changing 
	this setting is optional.

	Solution: Change computer short date format as follows:
	(1) From the Windows Start menu select Settings
	(2) Select Control Panel
	(3) Select Regional Settings
	(4) Select the Date tab
	(5) Select the Short date style M/d/yy from the drop down list
	(6) Click on the Apply button
	(7) Click on the OK button


	4. Progress Planner functioned normally for a period. 
	Now an error occurs when attempting to start Progress Planner.

	Probable Cause: Necessary files have been moved or deleted.

	Solution: Rerun setup from the downloaded Progress1-5.exe file
	and re-install the program in the same directory you used for the 
	original installation.   Do NOT uninstall the program or you will 
	oss all the data you have entered. 

	5. In the header above the Goals box and Tasks box the number 4 appears.

	Probable Cause: Progress Planner uses a commonly available 
	font called Monotype Sorts to display a check mark in the
	header above the Goals and Tasks boxes. You are probably 
	missing this file.

	Solution: You will need to install the font file mtsorts_.ttf, 
	which is located in the directory where you installed the 
	Progress Planner files.
	(1) From the Windows Start menu select Settings
	(2) Select Control Panel
	(3) Select Fonts
	(4) Select File - Install New Font
	(5) Choose the path to the file mtsorts_.ttf
	(6) Click OK

	6. If you have the full version of Access 97 or Access 2000 
	and you click any Access database, the run-time application 
	attempts to run.

	Solution for Access 97: Use the following command line to 
	properly register the full version of Microsoft Access 97
	(1) Click Start, and then click Run
	(2) Type the following command line:
	"c:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\MSACCESS.EXE" /regserver

	Solution for Access 2000: Start Access 2000. This will 
	automatically register the full version.
