PC WSPlus: AM/PM Missing in Day Start/End Times (116484)

SYMPTOMS

In versions 1.0 and 1.0a of Microsoft Schedule+ for Windows, the AM or PM or both may be changed or missing from the Day Starts At and Day Ends At times under the General Options command on the Options menu.

CAUSE

Schedule+ gets its time formats from the Windows Control Panel setting for time formats. (In the Control Panel window, choose the International icon. Choose the Change button in the Time Format window.) In the International - Time Format dialog box, there is a text box next to each of the 12 and 24 hour time formats. These boxes set the words or symbols that follow time settings.

By default, there is an AM in the text box next to the 12 hour time format and a PM in the text box next to the 24 hour time format. If one or both of these values is changed or removed, the Schedule+ setting will be changed accordingly.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, perform the following steps.

Run Control Panel.
Choose the International icon.
Click the Change button in the Time Format window.
Make sure there is an AM in the box next to the 12 hour time format and a PM in the 24 hour time format. If these values do not appear, place these values in the respective boxes. These values are case sensitive and will display exactly as typed in the Schedule+ General Options window.

NOTE: You can type up to seven characters in each of the change window text boxes, so if you see any additional characters after the times on the calendar screen or in the General Options window, check the Control Panel International - Time Format settings.
