17.2.5 Limitations and known “problems”

Overlapping tasks

When launching 2 attachments with overlapping times it is possible for the application to exit at the end of the first period. For
example, let’s say we try to display PRES1.PPT from 12:00 to 13:30, and PRES2.PPT from 13:00 to 14:30, it is possible for BOTH
presentations to exit at 13:30. This is because Windows uses the same process to display both files, and activates them via DDE.

This is a limitation in the Microsoft Windows ShellExecuteEx API

Avoid overlapping schedules in this case, or change the associations in: My Computer->Tools->Folder Op-
tions->File Types->(extension)

Try to disable DDE (under Edit with the default action, eg ‘open’, selected) and/or disable ‘Browse in same
window’ or using a different viewer/player for the file type.
