Appointments and Events

Shortcut to Mark Appointment Done: How do I mark an appointment as done without going to the details screen? Is there a shortcut?

Find Function for Appointments: I couldn't find a 'find' function for appointments. I can see the ability to text filter items in the split screen for addresses etc., but not in the general appointment fields. Is there a reason?

Set Advance on Floating Appointment: I am having a problem setting an advance on a floating appointment. When I check the advance check box, the system immediately unchecks the box. It seems to work fine for regular appointment; just not for floating appointments.

Past Time Event: Wouldn't it be so nice if a past time event will 'loose' end time when it is checked off and show only the start time? Does it take too many code line and hassle to do this? I know that I can always go to details of that past event and set the duration time to 0, but this is too tedious…

Change Time on Repeat Event: When I change the time on the repeat event, it becomes a separate event. How do I avoid this?

Rescheduling Appointments: I often have change or reschedule the same appointment over and over again. Is there some way to take the existing appointment and copy it to the next date without having to use a template?

Rescheduling Multiple Appointments (or Todos): The List View in Datebk6 has a new feature to adjust the date and/or time of multiple items at once ("Set/Adjust Date/Time…" in the Multiple menu) - see DatebkSixManualPage:29.

Assign Location, LocationFieldFromCalendar: How can I get Datebk to assign a location, like a conference room, to an appointment? (Note that Datebk6 allows the Location field from the Contacts application to be displayed.)
