Does SK98 allow Contact Log search ...?

Dear Esmonde,
Yes it does work in Windows 2000.
Yes Sidekick98 does have the same option Ctrl+F and then tick the relevant box.
See FAQ1a to download Sidekick98
Install Sidekick98 in a different Directory to 99
You don't need to Export your Data to Sidekick98 you just use the same Default Working Directory by selecting it in 98(Tools|Preferences|General|Default Working Directory)
that you use in 99 and then open the same Cardfile in 98.
WARNING
Do not run the 2 at the same time and you can have the Same Cardfile open in both!

Thanks James for that info.
I'm downloading SK98 now and will have a go. I didn't know that the SK99 file format was backwards compatible with 98 and am also delighted to know that the search options include the Contact Log. I can never understand why Starfish removed that very useful option in SK99. When I queried them on it some years ago they tried to convince me it was the result of customer requests.

Roy

Glad to be of help Esmonde,
Further to your comment: I know that was their stance
I think we should be asking more why they didn't develop Internet Sidekick which allows you to Export all your Data Including your Contact log as a Field to ASCII.Txt AND then re-import it back with the rest of the fields into the Contact Log.
Plus you could synchronise Files too...across a network I believe...
They removed both from Sidekick98.
and did not even mention why.

Towards the end of supporting sk99 starfosj created a version of sk99 that did contain the old log. I downloaded it and voila- all my log inputs showed up. Still I feel like sk99 is more unstable than sk98 w/ patch. I love the software and use if for all kinds of simple database management. However, I don't use the sk calendar.
