Upgraded to this version from Calendar Creator Deluxe 8.0, primarily because 8.0 wouldn't recognize either my existing HP LaserJet or a new HP Deskjet that replaced another deskjet recognized by CC 8.0. The upgrade install was easy, and all of the calendars and settings from v8.0 imported flawlessly into v12.1. Of equal importance to us, v12.1 recognized both of our printers - it uses the Windows 7 printer application instead of v8.0's reliance on installed printer drivers.

CC is easy to use once you've used it for a while. There are some challenging areas - such as "programming" the functions app to automatically update birthday/anniversary years automatically, but once the function has been successfully used, it's maintenance-free.

CC is a good calender program for the PC, and provides more functionality than the printable calendars from Yahoo, Google, Outlook, etc.

So far, the main reason I bought this version cannot be made to work - it won't import dates from my Outlook 2007 files. There is no documentation in the box nor is there a printable manual - just help screens. Displays of some option screens are distorted when certain screen resolutions are used, making reading difficult - just as with version 8.0 that I replaced. In fact, it is very much like the old version in most respects, even though it advanced 4.1 "clicks" in the stated version number. But then,its only [$], so no great loss.

        Comments about Encore Calendar Creator Deluxe v12.1:

        I had Calendar Creator on my old computer and recently got Windows 7. Technically, Windows 7 comes with a calendar, but I was not happy with the Windows 7 calendar. So, I bought a new version of Calendar Creator that is compatible with Windows 7 and was extremely happy to find that it's much like the older version which I loved. The old version only let you type so many characters per day, but the new one does not limit you in that way. I'm extremely happy with Calendar Creator!! Only disadvantage is that I couldn't purchase it in the store and had to order it online, but I got it in a timely fashion.

                Cover of product very misleading, you cannot use to make calendars to print. Wasted my money. Also, employees are very bad on knowledge of products they sell. Cannot tell you anything about item, they just quess. This is pretty sad.

                  I am currently using a different program to create calendars. I do need to upgrade. I create calendars for about 20 staff and 100 clients. These calendars are printed monthly. My current program allows me to save the staff contact info and also the clients contact info and transfers this information to the bottom of the calendar from month to month so that I do not have to re-enter the information monthly. Will this program also do this?

                    A:

                    I'm sorry for the confusion with this product. It is software to create printed calendars, not a calendar or appointment program. If you needed software to create a database of appointments, you can use Microsoft Outlook. The calendar feature will allow you to create appointments with reminders that will open as a window on your computer screen. That is Staples item number 866143 and it is also an email software so you can send reminders of appointments to other people via their email address.
