- In 2364 (on stardate 41997.7), a holodeck malfunction aboard the USS Enterprise-D led to an override of safety protocols. Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Dr. Beverly Crusher, historian Whalen, and Data were soon caught up in a real case in which the consequences could prove fatal indeed. (TNG: "The Big Goodbye")
- In 2373, aboard the USS Enterprise-E, Picard accessed the program, chapter 13, with Lily Sloane in order to escape Borg pursuit. Disengaging the safety protocols, Picard was able to kill two Borg drones using a Thompson submachine gun, thanks to the Borg being unable to adapt to the holographic bullets in time. (Star Trek: First Contact)

Unspecified
- In 2365 (on stardate 42859.2), Captain Picard once again took the role of Dixon Hill, again accompanied by Data, in order to flee Lwaxana Troi's manhunt. Lwaxana, however, eventually located him in Rex's Bar, but became infatuated with the owner. (TNG: "Manhunt")
- In 2367 (on stardate 44502.7), Picard introduced Guinan to the Dixon Hill program, where she played his cousin Gloria. Guinan, however, was not impressed. (TNG: "Clues")
