The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Schedule+ for Windows, versions 1.0, 1.0a
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
If you connect to a Novell NetWare or Microsoft LAN Manager server without
establishing a drive letter to that connection, use Schedule+ to open another
user's calendar on that server, and then close that calendar (or exits
Schedule+), the attachment to that server no longer exists.
CAUSE
=====
Schedule+ does not distinguish between a newly created attachment or universal
naming convention (UNC) style connection and an old, pre-existing connection.
Thus, when you close another user's appointment book or exit Schedule+, the
connection is terminated.
RESOLUTION
==========
Make sure you map a drive letter to your network connection before you open an
appointment book.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in version 1.0 and 1.0a of
Schedule+. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in
the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
MORE INFORMATION
================
Steps to Reproduce Problem for NetWare Environments
---------------------------------------------------
1. Log in to a NetWare file server (ServerA, for example).
2. Either in a login script, or from the an MS-DOS command prompt, connect to
another NetWare server using the NetWare ATTACH command (ATTACH ServerB, for
example). Do not establish a drive mapping to this second server.
3. From Schedule+, open an appointment book for a user on ServerB.
4. Close the calendar on ServerB.
5. Go to an MS-DOS command prompt and type the NetWare command WHOAMI.
You are only attached to ServerA, the server you originally logged in to.
Steps to Reproduce Problem for LAN Manager Environments
-------------------------------------------------------
1. Connect to a LAN Manager server and establish a connection with a drive
letter designated for the Mail postoffice on ServerA (NET USE M:
\\ServerA\<share>, for example).
2. Establish a UNC connection to another LAN Manager server without specifying a
drive letter (NET USE \\ServerB\<share>, for example).
3. From Schedule+, open an appointment book for a user on ServerB.
4. Close the calendar on ServerB.
5. Go to an MS-DOS command prompt and type the LAN Manager command NET USE.
You are only attached to ServerA, the server you originally logged in to.
