Limited Use [Posted on 2001-12-24]
I can't believe they couldn't do better. This program looks like it was written 10 or 12 years ago. If you are a complete newbie you may find this easy to use software a good place to start. If you want to be creative - look elsewhere.

This may be OK for home users [Posted on 2002-07-18]
This product may serve a home user fine. But in our network we cannot have our users needing administrative rights just to use this product. It is poorly written code in my opinion.

They Coulda Done Better [Posted on 2002-09-08]
I've used most versions of Calendar Creator since version 1. I recently upgraded to Calendar Creator 8 from version 4 because version 4 won't run under Windows XP. I found that version 8 wouldn't import my version 4 data. I find version 8 much harder and less intuitive to use than the older versions. The box says it'll export data for use in a webpage. Wrong. Ya gotta spend extra for the deluxe version for that.

If you want to use the templates provided, this works ok. Customizing is a nightmare. Getting it to print correctly is almost impossible and the help is useless. I'm going to try something else.

Perfect Calendar to Manage Our Household [Posted on 2005-11-08]
I have used verious versions of the program for well over a decade and Version 8 for several years. It is a great way to manage our family calendar. With a color printer it has gone from "perfect" to "spectacular". We don't begin to use its graphic features so I have no idea how it works for a "fancy wall hanging commercial type calendar." But to manage a VERY busy household of two parents, several kids, lot of activities, lots of practices, lots of competitions, lots of kids work schedules, lots and lots of conflicts - well it could not be better.

We use lots of sub-categories which makes it perfect to have automatic fonts/colors/styles to distinctively tell you who has to be to which type of event ("I must", "I should", "I might", "my spouse", "kids sports", "kids employment", etc.).

It is easy to enter an event: go to the date, hit ctrl-a and put in the time and description. Easy to make it a repeating event by clicking on the repeating button and then making the regular (annual birthday) or irregular (play performances Thur, Fri, Sat this week & next)specifications.

I have never used the help function so I don't know how good it easy - the program has been easy enough.

One of our favorite features is the ease of showing the same data in many different formats. All year on 1 page for things like birthdays. 10-12 weeks on one page as the kids turn in their work availability to their jobs. 5-6 weeks at a time for the regular family calendar (a month at a time has never seemed the most effective style for us).

I keep the calendar up on my computer all the time and mostly use it there. But everyone else in the family has their own printed copy which we update together as appropriate.

For an office or a network I don't know. But for a busy family it is perfect.
