SUMMARY
This article provides information on converting files from Microsoft Schedule+ versions 1.0 and 7.0, to Outlook 98.



Schedule+ Program Required
Certain Schedule+ support files must be installed on your computer before the Schedule+ converters will work. These files are installed by Outlook if you choose to install the Schedule+ support files during Outlook Setup.

To install the Schedule+ support files, follow these steps:
 * 1) Click the Start button, Point to Settings and click Control Panel.
 * 2) Click Add/Remove Programs.
 * 3) Click Microsoft Outlook 98 and click Add/Remove.
 * 4) Click Add New Components.
 * 5) Click either Install From CD or Install From Web, depending on the source of your original installation.
 * 6) Click Yes to allow Setup to determine installed components.
 * 7) Under Mail Components, click to select Schedule+ Support, then click Next and Install Now.

Two different Outlook converters are supplied for two different versions of Schedule+, version 1.0 (.cal files) and version 7.0 (.scd files). It is important that you choose the proper converter for the version of the file being converted.

To Import a Schedule+ File
To import a Schedule+ file, follow these steps:
 * 1) On the File menu, click Import And Export.
 * 2) Click "Import from another program or file", and click Next.
 * 3) Click to select either Schedule+ 1.0 or Schedule+ 7.0, and click Next.
 * 4) Click Browse, navigate to the file to be imported, and click Next.
 * 5) Type the password if required, and click OK.

NOTE: You may be prompted for a password during conversion even though you are not prompted for a password during normal Schedule+ startup. The password prompt is from Schedule+. The password is stored in the profile used to start Schedule+ and is automatically inserted when that profile is used to start Schedule+. It is necessary to enter the password to run the conversion.
 * 1) If you wish to change the folder the Schedule+ records import into, click Change Destination. Only server-based folders or personal folders can be targets for importing. Private folders do not show up in the destination list in the Select A Folder dialog box.
 * 2) Select Import "' ' into ' '" where is the file or folder name you wish to use, and click Finish.

NOTE: Schedule+ permissions are not imported to the Outlook Calendar. You must manually configure permissions for the Calendar folder to allow others to access your schedule.

Time Zones
Single appointments imported from a file with a different time zone will be adjusted for the time zone change. That is, an appointment scheduled for 1:00 P.M. Pacific Time will show up as 3:00 P.M. when imported into a file that uses Central Time.

Recurring appointments, imported from a file with a different time zone, will NOT be adjusted for the time zone change. That is, an appointment scheduled for 1:00 P.M. Pacific Time will show up as 1:00 P.M. when imported into a file that uses Central Time.

Schedule+ Projects
Project fields are mapped to Outlook Categories for Tasks. While these categories are assigned to the individual Outlook tasks, they do not update the Master Category list in Outlook.
