James33 . Thanks for your very interesting post. When Windows 10 first became available I managed to upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10 with no problem. However, my computer stalls when it attempts to install UPGRADES to the Windows 10 software and persistently reverts the "original" Windows...

Spurred on by WDane's post above I have now attempted to install Sidekick 98 on a Windows 10 machine ....and it works! One point to note is that it seems to struggle to install with automatic express install with the the "messaging" options, so just use custom install an all will be fine. I...

Anyone know if Frank Borland or any of his company are still around. It was they who invented Sidekick in the first place wasn't it?

We'd like to set up a live updatable database on the internet using Sidekick We would like to use SKW98 (although the data was entered originally on old reliable SKW2and would be imported into SKW98) and set it up as an accessible internet web page so anyone in our firm can access the data and...

100% agree it would be great if someone was able to revive Sidekick. My (ancient) Sidekick 2 is indispensable - even through the diary can be flaky and unpredictable (so much so that I now use MSN diary to make sure my entries won't disappear wiothout trace as they sometimes do in SKW2). The...

James Thanks very much for that. Unfortunately there's nothing I can find in the FAQ's about this specific problem. It relates to calendar (or diary) entries. Put them in today. Open the SKW2 calendar tomorrow - and they're gone! All suggestions very gratefully received. David at Newsnet.

I put in an appointment in the calendar/diary for the following day. Next day I open it up and... no sign of my entry. It's competely disappeared! Is there a fix for this or some repair that I can carry out . I'm using Sidekick 2 (because I like the big buttons) on Windows 98.

In the Read Me file for Sidekick 95 there is the following cryptic paragraph:- "* Moon phases in the Information Almanac are computed using the Metonic cycle of 19 years. They may vary within a day of astronomical observations." I've used Sidekick 2,Sidekick 95 and Sidekick 99 for...

I guess we've all used the handy calculator which comes as part of Sidekick 2. But once you've worked out your arithmetic on that paper roll there doesn't seem to be any way to copy or cut your calculations into any other program. ....Or am I missing something??

Anyone know how to stop one of Sidekick 2's more annoying foibles. If you enter a "To Do" item in the To Do box a check mark or tick appears in red against it - even if you haven't yet completed the task. According to the Sidekick help the red tick us only supposed to appear when...

James33. Reading between the lines of your reply and checking out out the other helpful advice you have given I guess you must have been involved in writing the original code for Sidekick - am I right? If so, I take my hat off to you. You 'da man! Great work and much appreciated by all us...

Sidekick 2 is the classic PIM - none of the others that followed it are anything like as good. The main reason SKW2 works so well is that it has large buttons and, in particular , a big "Add Cards" right above each address card. Also the "Find" button is great - exactly...
