    1 out of 5 stars Fix for printing problems   October 4, 2008
    Fred (Houston, TX USA)
    This is a TERRIBLE piece of software. I use it once a year to print a monthly calendar, and it always gives me problems. The reason I continue to use it is that it can print 2 months on a page, and it can tell you how old people are or what anniversary number it is using the "&count" function. The Microsoft Outlook calendar does not have these features.

    Calendar Creator will not print on my HP DeskJet 830C. The solution to this problem is to set up a built in Windows printer river for an older printer. I use the HP DeskJet 640C/642C/648C driver. (Use Start, Printers and Faxes, Add Printer.)

    Do NOT change the name of the printer. If you change the name, Calendar Creator will give you a paper stock error. If you want to identify the printer for use with Calendar Creator, use the comment field on the printer list.



    1 out of 5 stars Buyer Beware   July 18, 2004

    I bought this software locally, and tried to install it yesterday. Instructions say to shut down any background programs when installing in Windows ME, which I did. Not only did the software not install--although there were noises and blinking lights--the process somehow made my CD and DVD drives "undetectable" by my computer, just as if they didn't exist. Upon going to the support URL listed on the package, I found out the product is no longer supported, so if there's a problem you're on your own. I got my drives back through system restore and Windows Update.

    So, be careful with this one, especially if you have any of the newer Windows OS's; it was evidently made for the older ones and has compatibility problems. I was surprised and disappointed, because I've had good luck with Broderbund before.


    5 out of 5 stars Great version of a great product   January 18, 2004

    Glad to be back in the calendar business again!!! This is one of the best calendar packages out there, and I highly recommend it.I started using calendar creator with DOS way back and loved it. The first windows versions were decent, then with version 5 the software became so buggy it wasn't worth it. It seems with verion 8 though, they have managed to overcome most of their problems. I'm running it on windows 98 and having good luck. It is a little complicated for someone unaccustomed to the software, but once you figure it out, all the features really add to the flexability. I'm hoping the newer versions add a few more features, but this one works well and I'm pleased!


    1 out of 5 stars A terrible, horrible, no good, very bad piece of software.   December 4, 2003

    I bought this product to make family calendars and have found it useless. My biggest beef? You can't have more than one event on a date -- it appears on as "overflow" that you must print as an additional sheet! How many families do you know with no overlapping birthdays or anniversaries?


    1 out of 5 stars can 't set the dates!   October 11, 2003

    I really hate this product. It defaults to the start date of whenever *today* is, and I'm trying to work on a project for 2004. It's awful and I'm not sure whether to upgrade and discover they've improved it, or to look elsewhere. This program is really not worth purchasing, IMO.
