Hello,
Hopefully this is the correct forum for this post. I'm having a problem I hope someone can help with. I'm using Suretrak 3.0c. When I go to Format>Organize and uncheck the Reorganize Automatically box I'm able to insert new activities and move them where I want them just fine. The problem is when I close the file and then open it back up Suretrak reorganizes all of the activities even though the box is still unchecked. Is there a way to prevent this behavior and have Suretrak not reorganize all of the acitvities when opening a file? It's very frustrating to move a bunch of activities where you want them only to have Suretrak negate all of your efforts. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me with this.

Hi Charlie
You could sent me a copy of you schedule. I have Suretrak still running on my vitual machine.
See what i can do.

Charlie,
I have not used Suretrak for years but suggest unlink % complete and remaining duration and also consider changing % complete to 0 though not sure.
Good luck.

Try going to Organize and look for any sorting selection, if there are sorting order specified un-clik/delete them and see what happens after you have manually changed activity sorting.
It might be just the opposite that when you do not have a sorting criteria then Suretrak will use activity ID. Therefore I would try selecting any sort criteria but with Reorganize automatically un-clicked as to prevent default sorting from happening.
The last option that occurs to me is using a comment field or user defined field to create sort order numbers and place sequentially the values. This have the advantage of when changing/resorting layouts you can recover the sorting.
Good luck, this is as far as I can go without the software.
Best Regards,

Rafael,
Thanks for replying. I tried exactly what you suggested and to no avail. After moving an acivity I saved the project and exited. When I re-opened the project the activities reorganized themselves numerically even though the box is unchecked under Format>Oraganize to "Organize Automatically". Any other suggestions?

Suggest making a simple activity order change, then perform a save just before closing, it might be changes in activity ordering are not interpreted as a file change unless you specifically state it by executing a save action.
