This is always disabled when run from an Internet server, because you cannot edit files there via ActiveX. You can use HTML-codes in the Message text for Notifications and Events. If you for example want underlined or italicized text you can use: Here is underlined text and here is italics text Or if you for example want a link in the text you can use: madsenworld.dk to have a link to http://madsenworld.dk shown in cyan in the Event list. If PHSM-Dates.txt is edited manually, then all occurences of: " MUST be changed to: \" in the Message text - for example: madsenworld.dk This is done automatically if the Message text is entered via the dialog box "Change / Delete / Add Events". ------------------------ The background color of the PHSM-Calendar is by default set to "Black".
