Office pros?

Hello people. I have a network consisting of 5 computers running windows xp
,3 pro and 2 home. Office 97 is running on all computers. Ms schedule
(either 7.5 or 7.0) is used on all computers. schedule file1.scd and
schedule file2.scd are located on a network share. On all 5 computers there
are shortcuts to these schedule files. Users read and write to these
schedule files on all 5 computers. I now must upgrade MS Office to 2003
while still allowing schedule to work. How do i do this???? After
installing Office 2003 problems arise. When clicking on the schedule
file1.scd shortcut i get an error saying cannot open "shedule" i click ok
then i get another error saying cannot open "file1.scd" its almost like
scedule is trying to open the one file in two parts??

Since Schedule is an old product, pathnames with imbedded spaces must be
quoted in the registry on the .scd entry.

Do this on one machine:

1. Open Regedit
2. Click on HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.scd keyname (not the '+', the actual .scd
name)
3. Over in the right panel, you should see:

(Default) REG_SZ (or REG_EXPAND_SZ)
SchedulePlus.Application.7

4. Now open HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SchedulePlus.Application.7
5. Click on the '+' (cascading downward), until you see 'command' (without
the quotes)

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
SchedulePlus.Application.7
shell
open
command

6. Click on the keyname 'command'
7. Over in the right panel, you should see:

(Default) REG_SZ
E:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~3\Office\1033\SCHDPL32.EXE '%1'

If the %1 does not have quotes around it, add them
Remember, that is my pathname on my system, so don't try to match it. I
have all my applications on my E: Drive.
Just make sure that your %1 is quoted.

Once you do this, you can export the 'command' key and import it on each
system, or force it to be run on login in networked.
