If possible, I would like to see the ties remain for the observation linked to a<BR>
session and a plan as it is now. It does not require necessarily that observations link<BR>
to .apd in My Documents, but observations linked to spread sheet documents<BR>
and other images is useful. I have many spreadsheet documents - MS .xls and .wks -<BR>
that link calculated and observed parms with percentage errors, and I would like<BR>
to see this advance feature stay in the AP platform with linked documents saved<BR>
to a hard disk.<BR>
<BR>
In my humble but accurate opinion, anything is possible for a willing mind.<BR>

In fact I've never felt much need for anything beyond _global_ <BR>> observations. To me an observation is an observation and has nothing to do <BR>> with which plan was in use when the observation was made. If I want to do <BR>> anything along those lines, it would be to tie the observation to a session <BR>> rather than a plan. So bottom line, I would have no problems if the links <BR>> went away.<BR>> <BR>> Hilary<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> ----- Original Message ----- <BR>> From: "Jeff Young" <jey@adobe.com><BR>> To: "AstroPlanner Beta Testers" <apbeta@lists.astroplanner.net><BR>> Sent: Wednesday, July 08, 2009 3:58 AM<BR>> Subject: Re: [APBeta] Moving the Observation database to another machine<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> > Now that observations are easily edited from the global observations <BR>> > window, the only time I ever use the reference back to the original plan <BR>> > is for sorting -- for which it doesn't need to be a real link.
