This article is addressed to the network administrator and outlines the procedure for setting up Microsoft Schedule+ when Schedule+ is run from the network, and no Schedule+ files are stored locally on the users' workstations. The first section tells how to set up Schedule+ when Microsoft Windows and Schedule+ are run entirely from the network. The second section tells how to set up Schedule+ when Windows is run locally and Schedule+ is run from the network.

NOTE: Schedule+ version 1.0 was not designed to be run directly from the network. Because the file I/O that normally occurs on the local workstation is being handled by the network, running Schedule+ from the network may decrease Schedule+'s performance.

 *  refers to the shared location of the network installation of Windows.
 *  refers to a temporary directory for a temporary installation of Windows.
 *  refers to the user's network directory where the user stores his or her own Windows files (this will include the *.INI and *.GRP files).
