Schedule+ Week Numbering Incorrect in Monthly View

Article ID: 186294

APPLIES TO

This article was previously published under Q186294

SYMPTOMS

With Microsoft Schedule+, when you use the option to "Show week numbers in the calendar" and view a calendar using the monthly view, the week numbers displayed may not be correct and may not match those printed.

CAUSE

This occurs when the first day of the year starts on the fifth day of the calendar week. For example, in 1998, the first day of the year starts on Thursday. If you have the first day of the week option set for Sunday, then January 1 is on the fifth day of the week in the monthly calendar display.

WORKAROUND

Choosing another day as the first day of the week corrects this problem. In the example above, if you change the first day of the week to Monday, then January 1 will start on the forth day of the calendar week.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Schedule+ 7.0, & 7.5.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps To Reproduce the Problem

  1. On the Tools menu, click Options.
  2. On the General tab, click to select Sunday from the "Week starts on" list.
  3. On the Display tab, click to select the "Show week numbers in the calendar" option, and click OK.
  4. Click the Monthly tab to display the Monthly view.
  5. Click the calendar controls to go to January 1998.
  6. Notice that January 1 is found in week one and February 1 is found in week six.
  7. Click the calendar controls to go to February 1998.
  8. Notice that February 1 is now found in week five. This same weekly sequence continues for the rest of the year.
NOTE: If you print monthly calendars for the whole year, you will find January 1 in week one and February 1 in week five. This same pattern follows for the entire year.
