About This Program

This shareware program is deigned as a simple reminder for birthdays, anniversays, and other occasions.  To minimize resource usage, the program will load each time you enter Windows then scan your database file for reminders and prompt you with a simple message showing what the occasion is , who it is for , when it will arrive and how many days until left until the occasion.  After you have made note of the reminder simply click on the OK button to continue searching through the database.  After the program has scanned your entire database execution will be halted and control will be returned to your program manager.

Other Field

This field is user selectable.  Upon clicking this field a message box will pop up asking you what occasion you want to be reminded of. Note:  the field length here is only 17 characters so for long descriptions you may need to abbreviate.  This field can be cleared and reused at any time by clicking the Reset (Occasion) button.  To disable notification on any of the three occasions simply click the check box associated with that occasion.  This will dim the date field and disable input to all fields associated to that occasion.


Deleting Records

To delete a record, simply find the record you wish to delete then click the delete button.  You will be prompted before deletion occurs to insure you do not delete records inadvertently.  You cannot delete the first record where I have graciously entered my name and address for those who would like to make a donation.  You can however, change this information if your conscience permits--(or you have already made your donation)

Program Setup

In order for this program to run properly the following statement must reside in your  Win.Ini file.  By running the setup program this modification is made for you.  If you receive an error on windows startup, stating that it cannot find the  FMENOT.EXE program you may need to check the Win.Ini file to see that this line exists and make the necessary changes. The best way to do this is to open the Windows Notepad and load your Win.Ini file.  Then add the following line just above the (LOAD=) statement:

Run=drive:\directory\Fmenot.Exe

The Drive and Directory are where you have installed this program.  Upon completion choose File Save to update your changes.  The next time you enter Windows For-Get-Me-Not will begin its monitoring.


Win.Ini File

This file is located in the Windows directory on your hard drive, and controls most of the program functions for windows.


Alarm Field

This field shows whether you have disabled the alarm by choosing Cancel Notification when the pop-up notification window is active.  If you would like to reset the alarm to continue notifying you until the occasion arrives, simply click on this field to turn off the flag.  Note:  If you have turned off the notification for this field it will remain so until after the occasion as occurred.  At that point the alarm field will be reset to false allowing the program to notify you again next year.  If you would like to turn off the notification permanently you can click on the Birthday, Anniversary or Other check box.  This will disable notification until you manually check it again.
