Troubleshoot using Microsoft Schedule+ with Outlook

If you already have Schedule+ set up on your computer when you set up Microsoft Outlook, the Setup program keeps Schedule+ so you can import Schedule+ information into Outlook or share information with others who use Schedule+. You can do this in the following ways: open a Schedule+ appointment book in Outlook, view free/busy details of Schedule+ users.

After you import Schedule+ information into Outlook and you no longer need to use Schedule+ to share information, you may want to delete Schedule+ for more hard disk space on your computer. You can remove Schedule+ by clicking the Add/Remove Programs icon in Control Panel.

If you delete Schedule+ and later need to use it with Outlook, you will need to set up Schedule+ again. Before setting up Schedule+ again, you must reinstall the Schedule+ Support Files option in Outlook. To do so:

On the Help menu in Outlook, click Detect and Repair.

If you remove Calendar (for example, by deleting the Calendar folder in Microsoft Exchange Client), a new Calendar is created in Microsoft Outlook and the free/busy time from the previous Calendar is not cleared. The new Calendar does not contain the appointments from the previous Calendar; however, the free/busy time that was bold in your previous Calendar is also bold in the new Calendar.

To clear the free/busy time in Calendar:

Quit Outlook.
In the folder that Outlook.exe is installed in, right-click the Microsoft Outlook icon, drag it to the desktop, and then click Create Shortcuts Here on the shortcut menu. The default location for Outlook.exe is C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11 folder.
On the Windows taskbar, click Start, and then click Run.
In the Open box, type outlook/cleanfreebusy, and then click OK. The next time you start Outlook, the free/busy time is cleared from your Calendar.

If you send a meeting request with inserted items or inserted objects from Microsoft Outlook to someone who uses Microsoft Schedule+ 95, the Schedule+ 95 recipient will not see the inserted information. To ensure that your meeting attendees receive all your inserted information, place the information in a file, and attach the file to the meeting request before you send it.
