Wife needs calendar program, Help!! - Microman - 07-02-2006
WIfe needs a calendar program to type meetings etc, and stuff. Just tried iCal, but I don't see the time from 2 pm to 4 pm showing on the calendar even though it was entered. Is there an option that I am overlooking? Or does someone recommend a calendar program that would work
Thanks.

Are you looking at day view?

Got it figured out, it doesnt show the time until you print. She did her 6 months of calendar, works pretty well. But couldnt find a 1st and 3rd Sunday option for meetings, but copying and pasting is really easy.

that 1st a 3rd works. Put in the event then in the "drawer" thing choose "repeat - > custom. it's in there..

Check out Now Up To Date. It's not free but it is very flexible and allows for every event frequency I have been able to think of. We have been using it in one version or another since 1990 or so and I can retrieve events from that far back. I've never tried iCal so can't offer any comparisons.

I live and die by Entourage. Its Calendar is one of its better features.

I second the rec of Up-To-Date. I've happily used it since v2. I've tried Entourage's calendar, as well as iCal but just prefer Up-To-Date.

I like and use iCal so much that my copy of DayChaser sits unused. Having said that, perhaps you would enjoy it more. Download a demo from here:

and check it out.
(PS. As you can tell from the posts above, iCal is actually quite a bit more powerful than it might seem if you don't bother to really learn the program/read the help/explore, so my first suggestion would be actually do those things instead of basing an opinion on <5min of use as you seem to have done.)
