SYMPTOMS

When you import a Microsoft Schedule Plus 1.0 (CAL) file into Microsoft Outlook 97, the import process may hang or stop responding.

CAUSE

Either your CAL file or the Schedule+ 1.0 converter may be corrupted.

RESOLUTION

Open the CAL file with Schedule+ 7.5 (installed with the Schedule+ support programs) and convert it to a SCD file. Then import the SCD file into Outlook, using the Schedule+ 7.0 converter.

MORE INFORMATION

  1. Quit Outlook and double-click your CAL file.
  2. In Open With, click Other.
  3. Click on your Schdpl32.exe file, usually found in

This saves the CAL file with the same name and a .SCD extension. Start Outlook and import the SCD file using the Schedule+ 7.0 converter.
