SUMMARY
Versions 1.0 and 1.0a of Microsoft Schedule+ for Windows allow automatic recovery of a calendar file if it detects an abnormality in the file upon starting Schedule+. If an abnormality is found, Schedule+ creates a new file named RECOVER.CAL in the directory where the SCHEDULE.EXE file resides.

To view the recovered information from the RECOVER.CAL file, do the following:  From the Windows Program Manager, choose Run from the File menu. On the Run line, type SCHDPLUS.INI and press ENTER. Under the [Microsoft Schedule+] line, type the following line:

StartupOffLine=1

 Save the changes and exit from Notepad. Find the .CAL file on your local hard disk drive, where is your Schedule+ user name. Rename the .CAL file .OLD. Rename the RECOVER.CAL file .CAL.</li> Start Schedule+. When it tells you that it cannot find your calendar file in the location specified, point it to the file you renamed in step 7. Do not make a new calendar file.</li></ol>

As much information as possible is now displayed on the screen in Schedule+. Although some information may be lost, Schedule+ has recovered as much information as possible.

To accept this file and all information written within as your new calendar file, do the following:
 * 1) From the Schedule+ Options menu, choose General Options.
 * 2) Remove the "X" in the Startup Offline option box. Schedule+ will now attempt to merge the changes (if any) in the new .CAL file with your calendar file on the server.

MORE INFORMATION
If you run Schedule+ off the network and if the Schedule+ executable file resides in a read-only directory on a server, Schedule+ will not be able to create a RECOVER.CAL file.
