SUMMARY
This article describes a special driver that allows you to open a Microsoft Outlook 98 user's calendar file from Microsoft Schedule+ 7.x.



MORE INFORMATION
A Schedule+ user who wants to open an Outlook user's calendar must download and install a special driver. After installing the driver, the Schedule+ user can open an Outlook user's calendar. The Schedule+ user must have Read permission for the Outlook user's calendar, and that calendar must be stored on the Microsoft Exchange Server. The Schedule+ user can only read the Outlook user's Calendar, and not add to or edit it, regardless of the permissions granted by the Outlook user.

This driver works only on 32-bit versions of Microsoft Schedule+ 7.x (for Windows 95 and Windows NT 3.51 and 4.0). It does not work with the 16-bit version of Schedule+ 7.x (for Windows 3.1 and 3.11).

To Assign Read Permissions to the Outlook Calendar

 * 1) In Outlook, right-click the Calendar folder and click Properties, on the shortcut menu.
 * 2) On the Permissions tab, click Add to add the user to whom you want to assign permissions, or click Default to assign permissions to all users.
 * 3) In the Permissions area, click to select Read Items, and click OK.

To Open an Outlook User's Calendar from Schedule+

 * 1) In Schedule+, point to Open on the File menu, and click Other's Appointment Book.
 * 2) In the address list, click to select the user whose calendar you want to open.

Known Issues

 * All-day events in Outlook appear as appointments when viewed in Schedule+ 7.x, using the Outlook driver for Schedule+ 7.x.


 * If you reinstall Schedule+ 7.x, you will also need to reinstall the driver.


 * An Outlook user might share his or her Outlook Calendar with other users, and then switch to using Schedule+ 7.x as the primary calendar. In this case, Schedule+ 7.x users who are using the Outlook driver for Schedule+ 7.x, to open that user's calendar will continue to open that user's Outlook calendar instead of that user's Schedule+ 7.x calendar. To resolve this issue, the Outlook user needs to remove the permissions on his or her Outlook Calendar folder so that the Outlook driver for Schedule+ 7.x will not open it.


 * Outlook appointments with more than 32 kilobytes (KB) of text in the Notes field will appear to have a blank Notes field when viewed in Schedule+ 7.x, using the Outlook driver for Schedule+ 7.x.
