The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Schedule+ for Windows, versions 1.0, 1.0a 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In versions 1.0 and 1.0a of Microsoft Schedule+ for Windows, there are two
ways to change the user name that appears on the Schedule+ desktop. Which
method you use depends on whether Schedule+ is running with Microsoft Mail
for PC Networks, or whether Schedule+ is running off line.

Running Schedule+ in Conjunction with Microsoft Mail
----------------------------------------------------

The name is extracted from the Microsoft Mail ACCESS2.GLB file. The user's
full name can be changed in the Mail Administrator (ADMIN.EXE) program, by
selecting Local-Admin, Modify.

Running Schedule+ Offline (Stand-Alone)
---------------------------------------

The name is originally extracted from the Login= entry in the MSMAIL.INI
file and the user's .CAL file when it is first created. This character
string is now embedded in the file, but can be changed by performing the
following steps:

1. Export all appointments from the old .CAL file, by choosing Export
  Appointments from the File menu. Select the Schedule+ file format and
  Schedule Range: All.

2. Edit the SCHDPLUS.INI file and change the following lines

        LocalUser=newname
        LocalPath=c:\windows\newname.cal
        StartUpOffLine=1

  where newname is the new name you want to appear on the Schedule+ desktop.

  NOTE: When specifying a new name, do not use a space or any other invalid
  MS-DOS characters.

3. Edit the MSMAIL.INI file and change the following line:

        Login=newname

4. Restart your Windows session, and import all the appointments from the

export file by choosing Import Appointments from the File menu.
