OL2000: "Outlook Today" Does Not Show Appointments or Tasks

• Microsoft Outlook 2000

SYMPTOMS

When you select the Outlook Today view in Microsoft Outlook 2000, no appointments or tasks appear, although you have added events to your Calendar and Task list for today.

CAUSE

During setup, you added the items to Microsoft Schedule+ and chose Schedule+ as your primary calendar.

RESOLUTION

The Outlook Today view will not display items entered in Schedule+. You must use the Outlook calendar and task list to see these items in the Outlook Today view.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

During Outlook Setup, you have the option to choose Schedule+ as your primary calendar. This is desirable if you are working in a mixed workgroup where some people use Outlook and others use Schedule+ with an e-mail client other than Outlook. This option allows everyone in the workgroup to share calendar information and schedule appointments with each other. This option places an icon on your Outlook toolbar for conveniently starting Schedule+.

NOTE: To avoid duplication and confusion when using the Schedule+ option, it is very important that you enter appointment items into the Schedule+ calendar and not the Outlook calendar. It is probably a good idea to remove the Calendar icon from the Outlook Bar so that you will not accidentally use it.

Since Schedule+ also has Task and Contact functions, you should take the same precautions in using one program or the other for these features. If you want to share this information with other Schedule+ users in the workgroup, you must use the Schedule+ functions.
