Forum:Troubleshooting (VIP Task Manager) Message:
I'm trying to figure out a way to allow employees to see their tasks under a task group, but not see other employees tasks in that task group. I have individually set permissions on a task by task basis and the employee still cannot see the task even though they have view/edit permissions. If I give them permission for the task group as well as the specific task, then the employee can suddenly see ALL of the tasks in the task group EVEN if individual tasks have their permission listed as "deny."
After chatting with the support tech, I tried setting up task sub-groups for each employee and giving each of them view/edit permissions for their task sub-group; however, they still cannot see the task unless the parent task group gives them permission.

VIP Task Manager 3.5.1 (Build 523) will not send e-mail notifications if a resource name contains a comma.
Our department set up resources for each individual, in the form "LastName, FirstName". We enabled e-mail notifications, and setup the SMTP settings on the server, but we were not receiving any notifications by e-mail. The test e-mail worked fine.
I setup a Wireshark network capture, and noticed that all of the e-mails were being addressed to "LastName", with no e-mail address. Then, I peeked into the Firebird database, and saw that the addresses in the e-mail table were listed as "LastName, FirstName <firstname.lastname@domain.com>". After I manually modified these addresses to "FirstName LastName <firstname.lastname@domain.com>", VIP successfully sent out e-mail notifications.

We all use dual monitors in our workgroup. (All XP Pro, Service Pack 2) . We've found it very convenient to position all the panels on the second monitor leaving the primary monitor for the main task window only. This worked flawlessly with VIP 3.0.
However, since the upgrade to VIP 3.5, we have noticed a consistent problem. We can position the panels on the second monitor just fine and they work as expected. Once we have minimized VIP to the task tray and then open it again from the task tray, the panels on the second monitor blink, then disappear. We can bring them back only by turning each panel off from the main menu view command, then turning each back on again. Panels will then appear on the second monitor, stay there, and work fine, until we minimize VIP to the task tray again.
Since we like to have all the panels in their own separate window so we can see notes, notifications, attachments, resources, and comments simultaneously, this is a lot of turning off and on of panels every time we minimize. Is this a bug in 3.5 that can be easily fixed, or should we be looking for another solution?
