Hi johnnyred,
The following was copied from a Broderbund Technical Note titled Share Files on a Network".
Calendar Creator™ 12 is designed as a stand-alone application. However, calendar files can be shared on a network. To share calendar files over a network among multiple users, each user must have a copy of Calendar Creator™ 12 installed on the local workstation.
Complete the steps below to share calendar files over a network.
NOTE: To share a calendar file, the file can be placed on a server or shared drive. Any number of users can create a link to that file. The events in the shared file then appear in each of the users’ calendar files.
Sharing a File
1. Click Events on the menu bar and select Share Events. The Share Event dialog box appears showing any previously shared file names.
2. To share a new file, click Add and navigate to the location of the desired file.
3. Click Open to share the file.
4. Click OK to return to the calendar.
Updating Shared Files
NOTE: Shared files can be set to update automatically using the Preferences dialog box. Complete the steps below:
1. Click File on the menu bar and select Preferences.
2. Place a check in the Update Network Event Lists option.
3. Enter the number of minutes in the Every X Minutes field (where X represents the number of minutes) to indicate how often the files should be updated.
NOTE: Shared files can also be manually updated by clicking Events on the File menu and selecting Update Shared Events.
Shared Calendar Files Containing Graphic Images
NOTE: The actual image file is not saved with the calendar. However, the link to that picture file is saved. As long as the picture file remains in the location that generated the link, the picture can be accessed when the calendar file is opened. If the picture file has been moved or deleted, a warning message appears when the calendar file is opened.
To remove a link to a file, complete the following:
1. Click Events on the menu bar and select Share Events. The Share Event dialog box appears showing the currently shared files.
2. Select the file to remove and click Delete.
3. Click OK to return to the calendar.
NOTE: Events in the shared calendar file can only be modified by opening the original calendar file; they cannot be modified from within the shared files.
