Embedded view suddenly not working
I have many html views containing list views embedded as div-tags. I have not touched the code of my app for weeks but suddenly some of these views do not work anymore. What happens is that the criteria is not applied propperly (no records are listed) and the header is shown (despite the tag "zc_Header=false"). Here's an example: <div elName='zc-component' viewLinkName='Player_Entities_Embedded' params='Player_Name=<%=recP.Name%>&zc_RecSelect=true&Player_op=26&zc_Search=true&zc_AddRec=true&zc_DelRec=true&zc_Header=false&zc_Footer=false&zc_DuplRec=false&zc_EditBulkRec=false&zc_Summary=false'>Loading

Formatting email submission so it appears correctly in Zoho
I've figured out how to submit records to my zoho application using email. These are emails I am forwarding. The problem is now formatting the email so it doesn't show up as garbage in Zoho. I've found that changing the text encoding on the email to Unicode (UTF-8) will eliminate the problems with reading some characters such as apostrophes ('). It appears the submit data by email function reserves the colon (:) for identifying the fields that I'm using in the form. My work around is to replace

Automatic Time Refresh upon new entry
One of the applications we are using with Zoho is a Call Log. The date and time of the call are logged in. Is there a way to set the form so it automatically updates or refreshes the screen with the correct time when a new call entry is made? Right now, the person has to manually refresh the screen every time a call comes in, sometimes they forget to do that and then it throws our records off because our work is time sensitive. Thanks.
