DOCUMENT:Q108373 18-DEC-1999 [schedplus] TITLE :PC WSPlus: Running Schedule+ Demo from a Network Installation PRODUCT :Microsoft Schedule+ for Windows PROD/VER:WINDOWS:1.0,1.0a OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS: ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
