SUMMARY

If you modify the Microsoft Mail for Windows user's mailbox, the modifications will force Microsoft Schedule+ to create new calendar files (.CAL) because of the login IDs have been changed.

MORE INFORMATION

When you log into Schedule+, the \MAILDATA\CAL\SCHEDULE.KEY is accessed to determine if the user's login ID (mailbox) already has an existing hexid number assigned to it. Because the login ID is different, a new HEXID.CAL will be created along with a new USERNAME.CAL on the local workstation.

To retrieve the information from the user's original calendar file, do the following steps:

  1. Add StartupOffline=1 to the SCHDPLUS.INI file.
  2. Launch Schedule+ using the old username and password.

    This should bring the information from the users original USERNAME.CAL file on the local workstation.
  3. From the File menu, choose Export Appointments.

    You should export the appointments to the USERNAME.SCH file.
  4. Log out of Schedule+.
  5. Remove the StartupOffline=1 parameter from the SCHDPLUS.INI file.
  6. Launch Schedule+ using the new username and password.

    This should bring up the blank calendar file information.
  7. From the File menu, choose Import Appointments. You should import the appointments from the USERNAME.SCH file created in step 3.
