I must be overlooking something very simple, but I can't manage to change the "source" of a grid in the Manage Grids dialogue. I can change the name of the grid and other properties of the grid, but when I change the source of the grid, the change is cancelled as soon as I leave the "Manage Grids" dialogue.   I tried on different grids, in different databases including a fresh new one, and even in a somewhat earlier version of IQ.

I can create a new grid via  the "New Grid" dialogue, but when doing this, one can only use the name of a field, not a more complex source.

On my laptop, I added an item to my sndb database.  IQ wrote it to my OneDrive IQ sync folder.  (I use OneDrive rather than Dropbox because the free Dropbox plan limits you to a small number of connected devices, plus I do the $99 deal for MS Office + 1TB onedrive storage.)  On my desktop, OneDrive downloaded the laptop file from the sync folder.  But IQ on my desktop would not copy and reload the file from the sync folder.  Desktop IQ doesn't seem to recognize that there's been a data change, even though File > Properties shows that the laptop file has one more item than the desktop fil

Subitems are frequently disappearing for me and I may notice later that they have moved under a different parent.
It is not clear how this is happening, but I noticed once that an item in my ToDo list moved under a different ToDo item when I just clicked on it (no dragging). I am not able to reproduce it, but I would of course like to prevent this from happening.
I assume it has something to do how IQ interpret my mouse clicks..?

Has anyone else experienced this?

I usually create calendar events by dragging items from regular text grids to the Calendar, and these items are accordingly assigned by default to the Appointments calendar.

Sometimes I decide later to assign these items to some of my Google calendars. I can easily do this on an event-by-event basis by editing relevant events and changing the calendar to which they are assigned. However, is there any way to choose multiple events and then assign them to the Google calendar of my choice, and if so how?

Thanks!

In the past I've had a reasonably easy method to make a quick voice recording and get it transcribed and into IQ -

(1) Android home screen shortcut opens up Gmail compose screen with "To:" field already filled in to send to my Infoqube emailtoiq Gmail address.

(2) In the Subject: field, enter a text abbreviation that Texpand app expands to a date/time stamp.

(3) Tap microphone icon in Gboard and start dictating - voice is transcribed and text goes into Subject field after the date/time stamp - this way the dictated text goes into the IQ Item field, not the Doc Pane.

Any ideas on the best settings for Dropbox sync and EmailtoIQ auto-fetch?

It states that IQ can be accessed from an external app. Can I access IQ data from a Python script using odbc ?

How do I create the connection string ?

Is the database password protected ? encrypted ?

Can the database be opened in Access ?

Thanks

Disclaimer - I have never used multi-monitor setup (so completely ignorant here...)

• Can I spread the one instance of IQ over two monitors? e.g. have properties pane and Doc pane on a second monitor.
• Or are there other good options e.g. same database opened in a different IQ instance on each monitor?
  EDIT// this second question seems to be answered here Can opening 2 instances of IQ loading the same DB eventually increase the risk of Data corruption ?

(did do a search but found nothing relevant)

TIA, Tom

How do I embed iframes in the content area?

How do i turn off the trailing double zero (cents) when I set up a numeric field (Standard)
