Hi there, just became aware of your blog through Google, and found that it is really informative. Im going to watch out for brussels. Ill be grateful if you continue this in future. Lots of people will be benefited from your writing. Cheers! bggfbgeebbccdecg
Hi Mat, just found your site, been enjoying it quite a bit. I was just commenting to someone (might have been myself) about Organizer... In fact, I was trying to remember the name of it!! Regarding Agenda.... there was in fact a ported version of Agenda for windows that never got released.. Agenda scared the hell out of me but would love to see if it's held up. I think it was Jim Manzi who killed this product for windows when IBM made its dubious misstep for putting it's eggs in the OS2 basket... Maybe the right technology decision, but certain one that didn't take into account business practices (In case any MS people out there... I still remember what you did to the postscript drivers when printing from 123)
I still have Lotus Organizer installed and backed up for now...I'm always hoping someone will buy it from IBM (I made a first attempt to do so...then decided time was better spent....) and bring it up to cloud/multi-device/synching specification.!!
With a user base that was 40 million and a large number of people who still use and love Lotus Organizer, I would expect that some enterprising individual would buy the program and refresh it. It would most definitely sell !
I still have the box my original Threadz Organizer came in :-) Organizer 6.1 runs perfectly well under Windows 7. Just run the installer in XP compatibility mode. Frankly I have not found anything to match it. I just wish it had been ported to Linux as it doesn't play nicely with Wine as far as I can see.
I am still using Lotus Organizer 6.1 on Windows 7 Pro x-64. Aside from few screen refresh issues, the program works as well as it did back in 1990 when I started using a previous version. I do not have to "run as administrator", and hope that it still runs on Win10 - I have found no good replacement for this great program
I let Windows 10 do its install on my ASUS G73SW on top of Win 7. Organizer 6 runs fine but I am having a problem getting it to automatically open the data file (.OR6) that is located in my Livedrive cloud account. It opens an empty workbook and does not request my Organizer password. To run it properly I am forced to open a copy of the file that is sitting on my local hard drive. Anyone had a chance to shoot this bug or develop an automatic workaround?? This software is irreplaceable - I have used it for many years.
Lotus 123 was my second spreadsheet - my first being AsEasyAs a shareware(remember those) version - it was far superior. Unfortunately, like a lot of people I was subcontracting to a vandal who only used Microsoft Office and so I had to leave Lotsuite. AmiPro was great and Approach was far more intuitive than Access ever could be. I tried to go back, but Lotus had slipped so far behind. RIP Lotus Smart Suite.
I would like to add my own fondness for the flaming trashcan. RIP, I have an old PC running Windows XP, with Lotus Organizer 2.1 (I think). It was the mainstay of my appointments management. In fact, I may just keep my old machine just for that purpose, until there is something just as useful and flexible for my new Windows 10 laptop.
Positive results with Lotus Smartsuite and Windows 10 (Lotus 9.8.2). Seems to work fairly well, with the exception of the initial autorun installation. Manually run the installation and be patient as it makes it's way through the install.
Organizer 5 (SmartSuite 99.8.6) runs on Windows 8.1 if configured to run NOT as an administrator and NOT in compatibility mode. Somefine-tuning editing capabiities of WordPro are still superior to MS Word.
Well I haven't said goodby to Lotus Organiser. It's the best diary and organiser I have ever used, and the newer ones just don't match up. I'm now up to Windows 10 and it still works. However there is one problem I have had for a while. In the Planner I can now no longer change the key, and as about half are now no longer used it's a bit frustrating. Has anybody out there got any idea how I can get around the problem
Just doing a search for Lotus Organizer and I came across this page ... most time I do searches the most recent entry is from about seven years ago ... clearly Win 10 has reignited the debate for many.
I've always used Org 5, using it on Win 8.1 now without problems, and could never ditch it as, like many others, I have probably 15-20 years of stuff stored away in it ... and would dearly love someone to reanimate the app - the similarity to Filo *ahem* Fax is what always did it for me.
Tried other apps, and yes, EPim is great, but the leatherbound diary/organizer feel just will not go away. And all the different sections ... these are personal to everyone ... it's still a dream app.
Like many others in the same predicament, who have numerous files with content of their whole life's data stuck in a (now apparently defunct) LotusSmart Suite setting, I am looking for an equally suitable program that will accept and store the information in its present form, without any further complications.
Never mind 1-2-3 and Organizer, I still love WordPro. I designed work using its watermark function years ago and to my knowledge, nothing I have come across since can handle the scalable gifs I used anywhere near as well. Everything else makes an unmitigated blobby mess when enlarged in a watermark. I still use WordPro every day and will continue to do so even if it is through sheer bloody mindedness. I'm not a technical person, I'm a creative and if something continues to support my design, I will return the compliment. The sad thing is, WordPro has real problems with 64 bit. I have only just found this out after it was installed in Windows 7 64 bit and started losing some of its functionality and became cranky.
Lotus Smartsuite has been my faithful friend from 1992/Win 3.1 ... I now only keep Wordpro and 1-2-3 for viewing historic files (forced to the MSOffice dark side by market forces), but Lotus Organizer is effectively 'My Life in a file'. The thought of having to manually export all that data makes me sick with anxiety.
Fortunately, Organizer is running successfully on Win 10, so at the moment my head is firmly buried in the sand. Nothing I have seen to replace it even comes close. So I wish to add my voice to those pleading for a re release of this fabulous and forgotten (by the masses) piece of software!
I also use Lotus Organiser and Wordpro on my laptop with Windows 7. At least 20 years of history on file and I have not ever found anything that matches it for functionality. I would love to be able to use it on my Windows smartphone because portability of diary function is my downfall. I need to manually sync the smartphone diary with Lotus...
I too have over 20 years of data on Lotus Organizer [6]. Is there no way to run it on an apple computer? Im thinking of buying a pc tablet so that I have somethng to run it on [Parallels on my apple is agonisingly slow]. I just hope it runs on Windows 10
Nice to see there are at least a few of us diehards out there. I wrote a database application in Approach about 15 years ago that is still working and is the mainstay of a not for profit body I support. The task of updating it is just too large. I use database joins in a way I haven't been able to figure out in Access, and the macro creator in Approach was without peer & still is today....
So now I cant get it to install in Win 10. I've read the helpful comments above carefully and many other links and tried various tips and 'compatibility' settings. I just can get past the first 'initialisation failure' message.
Do you have any idea how large the user base might be for Lotus Approach? Or whether there is a cloud-service that could upload and share an Approach database? If the user base is large enough and there is no good cloud tool, I will consider creating one.
I'm so relieved to find so many others who love SmartSuite as much as I do. I can manage Excel instead of 1-2-3, and can do simple documents in Word but, like so many I have WordPro documents going back 20 years that I want to keep. Also, it knocks spots off Word for flexibility and ease of use. My main concern, though, is Organizer. There simple isn't anything remotely like it or even a fraction as good. WordPro, 1-2-3 and Organizer 5.0 all run well in Windows 7 32-bit. Please, please will somebody resurrect these wonderful programs.
After using Lotus Approach for over 15 years I have found the best replacement to be FileMakerPro. For export of large number of records I found the best way to export all records from each table as test with comma delimited and with a file extension of .csv
