Click the Month UP Spinner to move to the next month.  The Down Spinner moves to the previous month. Same with the Years. Pressing the Today button returns the calendar to today's date (providing the date in your computer is correct). If you set an alarm for today's date there will be a red bar on the bottom right side of the calendar.  If you have set alarms for other days and click the mouse on those days, there will be a green bar just to the left of the red bar.

Scheduler: Double click on any date on the calendar to open the scheduler. Here you can keep track of meetings and things you need to do.  You must click the SAVE button before you leave the scheduler to save your activities.

Alarm: Once you set a time for the alarm, a message box will pop up when that time arrives.  Example: You are busy typing an appraisal in your word processor but you have to leave to pick up your kids in half an hour.  Click or hold the left mouse button on the UP/DOWN Spinner for the Hour and the Minutes (make sure you have the correct AM or PM time selected).  Click once in the Alarm Message box. Type your message (Pick up the kids!). Click the Set button (or use the ALT-E key combination). Go back to your word processor by pressing the ALT-TAB combination. When the time comes, a message box will pop up telling you it is time to go get the kids.  Note: If you close Gemology Tools the alarms won't work. You must either minimize Gemology Tools or ALT-TAB to your other application). Note: Make sure the time on your computer is accurate!

TIP: Call the calendar from almost anywhere in the program by pressing F12.
