When you use version 1.0 or 7.0 of Schedule+ for Windows, and you try to Open

  The schedule file could not be opened. You may not have the necessary access
  privileges or the file may be unavailable.

For version 7.0:

  The schedule cannot be opened. Access is denied.

CAUSE

2. From the Set Access Privileges dialog box, click the Add button.

3. From the Add Users dialog box, select the users to grant access privileges
  to. Click the Add button. Repeat as often as necessary. Click OK when you are
  finished. This will bring you back to the Set Access Privileges dialog box.

  box.

4. The default access privileges will be assigned to the users. To modify the
  user's access privileges, highlight the user in the Users field, then select
  the appropriate level of access from the Permission Details for <User
  Name> field for the user from the User Role drop down menu. Click OK to
  save the changes to the schedule file.

Resetting Access Privileges/Permissions in the Schedule File.

  the Default, and reset that to none in the Privileges field.

4. Click OK. Exit and Sign Out of Schedule+ to save the changes to the schedule
  file.

  any users, paying special attention to reset the Default privileges as well.

For version 7.0:

2. From the Set Access Permissions dialog box, remove all access permissions for
  users by first highlighting the user in the Users filed, then by clicking the

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in versions 1.0 of Microsoft
Schedule+ for Windows and version 7.0 of Microsoft Schedule+ for Windows 95. We
are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft
Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION
================

If the access privileges/permissions have been set, but the user cannot access
the schedule file, there may be corruption in the schedule file. Following the
appropriate procedure above may resolve this. If the procedure above does not
resolve the issue, then the corruption in the schedule file is too severe, and
it may be necessary to restore the file from backup.
