Summary:
I have configured a number of paging alarms via the Paging System Popup Page. I have confirmed that these alarms have been added to the PagingV3.mdb. I start my project and have been paged successfully. However, not all of the alarms I configured as Paging Alarms work. If I look in the PagingV3.mdb I discover that these records have been removed. Why is this?  

Solution:
When the paging system starts it cross checks the alarms configured to be paged with the ones in the Citect database. If any of these alarms are configured using a Citect Area then the cross check function does not see them and removes them from the MDB file. You can avoid this by doing the following:

Instead of running PagingSystemStart() in the Startup code run:

Login("Paging","");
PagingSystemStart();
Logout();

where the User "Paging" has no password and can view all areas in the system.
