OL97: How to Open an Outlook User's Calendar from Schedule+ (190666)

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). The following file is available for download from the Microsoft Download Center:

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, then you will also need to reinstall the driver afterward.
• An Outlook user might share his or her Outlook Calendar with other users, 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.
