4. Choose OK.

5. In the Open Message File dialog box, choose the New button. You receive the following message:

   Warning: The existence of multiple message files can result in a loss of database integrity. Delete all other message files. Your new message file can be found in the C:\<WINDOWS>\MSMAIL.MMF.

6. Choose OK. You receive the following message:

   A new file has been created for you. Your password has been set to 'password'. You can change it by using the Change Password command.

7. Choose OK. From the Schedule+ Options menu, choose General Options. Select Startup Off-Line and then choose OK.

    The local copy of your schedule file could not be accessed in the location specified in your SCHDPLUS.INI file.
