I have another question too… hope I haven’t used up my quota. 😉 How do I add items I am waiting on from others (@waiting for)?
Thanks,
Josh

OK, so if I choose not to create contexts for each client, what will be the easiest way to see all of the next actions and things I am waiting on for each client (i.e., so when the call and say, “Is there anything else we need to talk about?”).
Thanks,
Josh

Just to clarify, I am not having a technical problem with Jello– it’s working perfectly so far (a few hours since install). My question is about organization– should I organize clients as contexts or as projects?

I am trying out jello and am having the same problem Josh had (see first post on this thread) with using jello. I keep getting an Outlook pop-up every time I select anything inside jello (any folder or action) that says, “A program is trying to access e-mail addresses you have stored in Outlook. Do you want to allow this?” I have to select “yes” for 1,5, or 10 minutes. No option to say “do not show me this warning again.”

I recall having this problem with a trial version of some other GTD program I was testing. They had a plug-in of some sort you had to download so you wouldn’t keep getting this message. I think they called it a “certificate”.

I have a more general question (I had the same issue with the GTD Outlook plugin):
I manage projects for a small SEO firm. We have about 25 projects ongoing. Am I better off making contexts for each client, so that I can see what issues I need address with each client (such as when we have a pre-arranged conference call) or should I group everything into calls? If I do the latter, I have to sort through all my calls to see which client I need to address each issue with? If I do the former, am I corrupting the GTD system?
Thanks,
Josh

@ bc
I’m very glad I finally made it!

@ Anjo
Your suggestion was noted. It’s good!

@ Rich
Thanks for replying to Dennis. I still have no idea of Exchange server environments

Rich – thank you for your reply.

I think I’m connected. When I say ‘No’ to the error message and proceed into the program, I can move about.

I can click the ‘Check Messages’ buttom at the top of the Home page and bring up the e-mail screen. From there, I can read, delete and send mail.

From time to time I get a different run-time error, on line 577, I think. But that’s happening less frequently now.

Dennis, I think what might be happening is that you’re using the dashboard on a computer that’s not connected to your Exchange server. If you work in offline mode or make sure you’re connected, you might have better luck.

When I install 3.1, I get:

“A Runtime Error has occurred.
Do you wish to Debug?

Line: 2
Error: Expected ‘)’ ”

I would like to try this program, but I don’t know how to get past this error.

Thanks in advance.
