Schedule+
David E. Ross
However, I have used Windows 95 and 98SE for almost 10 years.)
One application that I had on my old PC under Windows 98SE was
Schedule+, which I had setup from an even earlier PC running Windows 95.
I really like this application. Since I use it at home without any
network, it really meets all my calendar and appointment needs.
When I got my new PC last week, the hard drives from my old PC were
copied as data into folders on my new PC. I went to the old
SCHDPL32.EXE and tried it. It worked!! I moved it and the rest of its
folder -- including the .scd file that still held my appointments -- to
a directory of its own. I then added a shortcut to SCHDPL32.EXE to my
Startup directory. Everything works fine now . . . WITH ONE EXCEPTION.
When I try to print a day's or week's appointments, I get an error popup
that says:
"The print operation could not be complete. Cannot print because there
are no valid .FMT files available."
I have all the old .FMT files that allowed me to print under Windows
98SE. Can anyone help me with this?
Note that Schedule+ was a licensed copy originally installed on my first
PC with Office 95. I moved it to a new PC only when I "junked" the
prior PC. I do recall that I had this same problem when I first set
this up in Windows 98SE, but I can't remember how I resolved it.
Unfortunately, the shop where I bought my first PC failed to provide me
with the Office CD. Unless I can get a new installer file, I can't
reinstall it.

The cited Web page mentions "Compact installation of Microsoft Office
for Windows 95". I did not do that. I installed Office 97 (patched for
Y2K), which does not include Schedule+. I believe I installed it
without selecting the "compact" option.
The cited Web page in turn cites MS Knowledge Base article #Q136718.
That merely lists the files installed.
I'm trying to find out how to correct the problem or whether it's even
correctable.

A long way around might be to install OOo and try to save the files you
want to print in there somewhere. (I take it that you have tried saving
it as a Word or XL or whatever file and submitted it to printer that
way?)

I don't want to print a file. I want to print a Schedule+ display.
There are several that can be selected. My preferred for printing is a
5-day week although I rarely display a week on my desktop. The printed
page is NOT formatted the same as the display.
I was thinking that this might be resolved by editing my registry
because the files are the same as I had with Windows 98SE. But I don't
know what registry changes are needed. Or perhaps some .dll files need
to be setup in C:\windows (or a subfolder of that). I still have all my
old .dll files, which were saved when the hard drives from my old PC
were copied to my new PC.
