The body of a full size even is driven from a calc in the table, but when it is presented in a list view or at the top of the resource list as an all day event, it replaces the "CR" with "|"

Is there a place where i can change this behaviour, either to get rid the pipe or have an alternative calc used for that view??

jeff

any intelligence on this one?
while pipe has its uses (because it is thin) it does not always work as a replacement character in text that you are going to view, particularly if the font used makes L and one all a single vertical bar too. So we use it where we are going to be parsing the text (where you might use !~!..) but concatenated text with pipes is quite hard to read.

I see your point. Unfortunately this is not something that can be changed in the current version of DayBack.

Correction: Turns out you CAN use a different character there. Just edit the $$sc_ReturnSubstitute variable in the "Load Calendar Settings - On Startup --- Edit Configuration Here ---" script.
