Thanks for the run-down, Pam! You're speaking to someone who still has a Treo smartphone (no data plan... just a working Palm OS 4 device) plugged in keeping charge, because my Tungsten finally died. (I would carry the Tungsten with me on the trail hiking, because the form factor was "flat rectangle" rather than "antenna sticking out to get broken". Water purification timer, alarm in the morning to get up, dinner is done cooking, make a note of odd/funny occurrence, whatever.)
And I used "DateBk6" for my personal organizer (calendar & contacts), which was a phenomenal upgrade from the Palm's built in DateBook app. Check out Pimlico Software.
Fortunately, they came out with an Android version(-ish) of the same software, called PimliCal. Extremely worthy of investigation.

Lacerte's Appointment Manager always had their own data table; in "the old days" I could open that right up and view it, but WRITING to it would for some reason corrupt the table. We never stored appointments in Lacerte anyhow, so this was merely something that I ran across and was noodling with to see if I could get anything good to happen. (Like for example, a printout that was NOT a functionally useless mess of "all lines the same size, nothing bolded, and no indenting" [such as "days in all caps & bold & larger, indent appointments, with the client name/number in bold"].) Yeah, completely UN-impressed with Lacerte's default printout.
Now, with their redesigned data tables, I cannot even open the Appointment Manager's data table. (It got a new name, as well.) And since it is stored in a completely different directory (specifically, your "OPTIONS" location) than client data, no ODBC connection to help there.
