copying a calendar from one collection to another - 10/19/2016 4:41:22 PM    Puffin2014   Posts: 11 Joined: 10/19/2016 Status: offline I am using Calendar Creator 12 Deluxe. I set up 2 collections of calendars, and would now like them to be one collection. Now that I better understand how categories work, I don't need 2 collections and would like to be able to print one calendar that includes the categories from both collections. Post #: 1

I suggest you pick what you consider the primary calendar collection. Save it with another name, e.g., Calendar 1. Then import the other into it: from the menu, choose: File, Import, Events. Browse for the *.bcc file for the other calendar, and select it, and click Open. The events, and their Categories, should now be in the newly-named calendar. Try the calendar out, searching for events from different times, and browse the Categories in the Event List view. You may have some tweaking to do, but with luck you'll have what you want. When it's what you want, you can make backup copies of the old calendars for safety, and rename the combined Calendar to what you want. _____________________________ David (in reply to Puffin2014) Post #: 2

How do I get back to the .bcc where my calendars were listed? (in reply to Puffin2014) Post #: 4

RE: copying a calendar from one collection to another - 10/19/2016 7:32:31 PM    DEJenc3 Posts: 533 Joined: 6/22/2005 Status: offline If you don't see your calender in the list of choices when you go to Open a collection, that means it's saved in another location. There are a couple of ways to identify the path: An easy one is right-click on the Calendar Creator desktop or taskbar button, and choose yours from the list of Recent files. When it opens, use the menu choice File, Save Collection As, and note the file's path. When you go to open a calendar collection, it will search in the default location for calendars, possibly something like this: C:\ProgramData\Broderbund Software\Print\Calendar Creator It may vary with the version of Windows that you use. You can change the default path in Calendar Creator Preferences to your Documents folder, or wherever you want. Likewise, you can Save Collection As and specify a path. The other way to find your calendar would be to use File Explorer to search for your file, specifying *.bcc That should turn up all Calendar Creator collection files. _____________________________ David (in reply to Puffin2014) Post #: 5

Thanks for your help. (in reply to DEJenc3) Post #: 6

There are enough variables that it's sometimes hard to give an answer. Here's a tip: in the CC menu: File, Preferences: go to the Startup tab, and click the button for "Open last calendar used." If you use mainly one calendar, it'll make your Calendar Creator life easier. _____________________________ David (in reply to Puffin2014) Post #: 7
