This window will keep displaying when the application starts until you click Yes or the date has passed. This option is off by default.

It copies the information to the clipboard. This is useful if you want to paste the details into a text editor.
The way the Check feature works can be adjusted on the application Preferences windows:
Check (this option is off by default)
The application will examine the next arranged home talk entry and check to see if you have not confirmed the exchange with the speaker or coordinator.
Local Speakers (this option is off by default)
Generally you don't need to contact a local speaker to confirm an exchange as you would have seen them at the meeting. However, for flexibility, this option has been included to allow you to do so if desired. The main option must be set for this one to be enabled.
Check (this option is off by default)
When this option is on, the program will examine the next 1 to 4 arranged home talks for talk number 1000 (this talk number is reserved for To be Arranged).
Number of meetings (this option is disabled by default)
You can set the number of meetings that it will check in advance by using the drop-down list. You can select from 1 to 4 meetings.
