SUMMARY
This article describes a special driver that allows you to open a Microsoft
Outlook 98 user's calendar file from Microsoft Schedule+ 7.x.
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).

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