The information in this article applies to:

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

SYMPTOMS
========

In versions 1.0 and 1.0a of Microsoft Schedule+ for Windows, the Schedule+ Demo
requires that the working directory be the directory containing the
demonstration program files (PLAY.EXE, SCHDPLUS.EXE, DEMOFX.DEX, and
CBLIB3.DLL).

This can create problems when you run Schedule+ from the network (a network
installation). Typically, a network administrator would want to limit the
directories that contain executable files to Read Only status. However, with the
Schedule+ Demo configuration, this is not possible.

RESOLUTION
==========

The following steps outline a procedure to create an alternate directory for
just the Schedule+ Demo files:

1. Create the directory X:\SCHDDEMO on the file server, where X is the server
  from which the Schedule+ Demo files are to be run.

2. Copy the following files from the SCHDPLUS directory to the newly created
  shared directory:

  PLAY.EXE
  SCHDPLUS.LES
  DEMOFX.DEX
  CBLIB3.DLL

3. From the Windows File Manager File menu, choose Associate. In the Files With
  Extension box, type "les" (without the quotation marks). In the Associate
  With box type "PLAY.EXE" (without the quotation marks). Choose OK.

4. From the Windows Program Manager File menu, choose New, then select Program
  Item. Then type the following information:
  +----------------------------------------------+
  | In This Box       | Type                     | 
  +----------------------------------------------+
  | Description       | Schedule+ Demo           | 
  +----------------------------------------------+
  | Command Line      | x:\schddemo\schdplus.les | 
  +----------------------------------------------+
  | Working Directory | x:\schddemo              | 
  +----------------------------------------------+

You should now be able to run the Schedule+ Demo by double-clicking the Schedule+
Demo icon or by double-clicking the SCHDPLUS.LES file in File Manager.
