SUMMARY
When you use Schedule+ for Windows connected to a postoffice via Novell NetWare, and you attempt to open other user's appointment book, you may receive the following error:

The schedule file could not be opened. You may not have the necessary access privileges or the file is unavailable.



CAUSE
This will only occur if you are using Dynamic Connections and already have eight (8) or more connections from the workstation to NetWare servers.



RESOLUTION
Disconnect one of your existing mappings to another NetWare server until the number of connections is below seven (7).



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in versions 1.0 and 1.0a of Microsoft Schedule+ for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.



MORE INFORMATION
With Schedule+, you can open other appointment books across servers. In the early implementations of Novell NetWare where NETX and IPX drivers were being loaded, NetWare placed a limitation of eight concurrent connections to NetWare servers. With the invent of the Novell NetWare Virtual Loadable Modules (VLM), the NetWare OS allowed you to connect up to 50 NetWare servers. However, the NVCONN.DLL that was written for Schedule+, contained the NetWare code as written that limited the concurrent connections to eight.

Additional query words: schedule plus novel dynamic connections
