WAY WAY OT looking for software

I'm on Win 7 not updated since all the forced Win 10 brou ha ha.
I would love to find an "appointment book"/calendar software that would
work between two users. When either my wife or I open our profile the
calendar/appointment book would show the same entries regardless of who
input them when. I'm not sure such a critter exists but it would sure
help us keep track better of who is scheduled what and where and when. I
have a gadget that I like but the only way for both of us to use it is
to drag drop and replace back and forth between profiles/desktops each
time we log in. Thanks much if anyone comes up with something.

If it is really complicated scheduling, try Vueminder.
They have a trial.

For the easy stuff, both google and zoho have a calendar
that can be shared.

And it ain't off topic. This is for Windows 7 and anything
that runs on Windows 7 and any shared wisdom across all
Windows platforms

Yes it is way way OT but have you thought of using Google Calendar or
Microsoft Calendar? They are both online and you or your other half can
access it anytime, anywhere as long as you have Internet access on your
smart phone or laptop. This is how people mange their lives these days
and you should really get hang of it.

You will find that none of the software you are looking for is unlikely
to work unless you have a dedicated server running and so additional
cost and administration.

Good luck.

It is "WAY WAY OT". This is windows 7 and you only deal with Windows
Operating System not some fringe software packages running on Windows
7. There are dedicated newsgroups and forums for that purpose. You
just need to search for them.

Why is any special calendar software needed? If you set up a
spreadsheet or database that both users can access and update,
either user can see all the data.

If you use Thunderbird, you can add the "provider for google calendar"
extension and it will allow you to link to a google account and that
google calendar.
Of course you have to have one google account and both of you connect TB
or respective PCs to that one account in the Lightning Calendar that's
now built into TB.
My wife and I do this. We both have a laptop and also you can access
the calendar easily from an android phone. Not sure about IOS, never
been there.

The other option is Rainledar http://www.rainlendar.net/cms/index.php
that if you pay for the pro version (and it's not that much) it will
access google calendar also. The nice thing about Rainlendar is it
will show your events (appointments) on the desktop wallpaper.

Both Google and Microsoft have a calendar (and more) with their free
accounts.

Here's an example screenshot for my dog (I set him up on my W10 box as a
Family member for testing purposes)...

So you could have (or country TLD), or
.

For client software access (rather than 'webmail'), Microsoft Outlook is
a pretty awesome email client. Screenshot from W10 box...
https://1drv.ms/i/s!AjwgsYmRt63piJBeLEE6POuqvyBKgg

And if you use Outlook, you can still add additional accounts (existing
personal ones for example).

If you wanted to share Calender info from your personal accounts, you
might like to look at paid for versions - such as Office 365 (but you'll
need your own domain too).

I downloaded Vueminder Lite but don't see, so far, that it operates
between profiles. May check the low cost version next.

Google Calendar is not locally based and I was hoping for something
where it's not a matter of having to log in every time. It does have
potential though.

Thanks

As I mentioned to T I was hoping for something that didn't require going
online.

And as far as smart phones and lap tops, my old flip phone makes phone
calls just fine, and, I find no need, at 67 years and retired, to have
access to the internet 24/7. Unlike many I know.

(I've got two rotary phones that work just fine also) VBG

Now we're talking. DOH. We already have various links to common data
bases (music, addresses, birthday lists, photos etc). A quick desktop
shortcut to calendars and there we be. I've already made up an Excel
sheet and printed it. We can just leave it on the drive. Hmm. Sometimes
it takes a village...............Dang, that line has a familiar ring to it.
Thanks Don. I think this might be the easier yet answer we were looking for.

make your own spreadsheet calendar in Excel and store it in DropBox or
similar.

Just buy an old fashioned diary and keep it on your desk at home where
your wife can look at it and add new entries or delete/amend the ones
that needs to be amended AND pay somebody to take away your machine.
You won't need it and you won't need dropbox either.
