SYMPTOMS
You create a .CAL file that includes a space in the filename (for example, JOHN DOE.CAL), and later Schedule+ does not allow access to this file. The following error message is displayed



This filename is invalid.

where  is the filename containing a space.



CAUSE
Schedule+ allows the creation of a .CAL file with a space in the filename if you are working offline and if you have not yet set up Mail. (Mail does not allow a Mailbox entry that includes a space to be established.) When you start Schedule+ for the first time, it prompts you for a Mailbox entry. It is possible to include a space in this entry. Schedule+ continues to work; however, if Mail is later installed, Schedule+ cannot access the .CAL file.



RESOLUTION
To correct this problem:  Rename the file at the MS-DOS command prompt. For example:

REN JOHN?DOE.CAL JOHNDOE.CAL

-or- If the .CAL file contains no data, delete the file. For example:

DEL JOHN?DOE.CAL



If information is needed from this file, export the file and re-import the file under the new mailbox name, which does not contain a space.

If Mail has been started and Schedule+ no longer allows access to the .CAL file, you must rename the MSMAIL.INI and MSMAIL.MMF files, restart Schedule+, and export the .CAL file.

Additional query words: schedule plus sched
